Question : Directions: In the following question, some parts of the sentence may have some errors. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and select the appropriate option. If the sentence is free from error, select "No error".
She had an (1) / miserable existence (2) / living with him. (3) / No error (4)
Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (1)
Solution : The error lies in the first part of the sentence.
Explanation : The article "an" is used before words that start with a vowel sound, while the article "a" is used before words that start with a consonant sound. In this case, "miserable" starts with the consonant sound, so "a" should be used instead of "an".
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "She had a miserable existence living with him."
