Correct Answer: 1


Solution : The error lies in the first part of the sentence.

The word "used" suggests a past action but doesn’t convey the habitual nature of the action. For habitual actions, we commonly use the simple present tense. In this context, to denote a habitual action, the simple present tense would be more suitable.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "I use a pair of trousers for a week."
