Correct Answer: The chair's leg


Solution : 'Error in part-(A)'. Hence option 1 is the correct answer.

Explanation:

  • Use 'leg of the chair' instead of 'the chair's leg' since we can use possessive nouns for both living and non-living entities, but in different ways.
  • - In the case of non-living things, consider the following:
  • - The legs of the chair times (Hint: Do not use the apostrophe ('s) with non-living things.)
  • As a result, the right sentence is-- leg of the chair has been broken and we must buy a new chair before disposing of it.
