Question : Identify the segment in the sentence which contains a grammatical error. I was sorry to be hearing of his misfortune.
Option 1: I was
Option 2: sorry to
Option 3: be hearing
Option 4: of his misfortune
Correct Answer: be hearing
Solution : The error lies in the third option.
Explanation: The verb to be is not generally used with the present participle (gerund) form of another verb. In this case, to be hearing is not a grammatically correct construction. The correct structure would use the infinitive form of the verb, which would be to hear.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "I was sorry to hear of his misfortune."
