Correct Answer: a suitcase full with


Solution : The error lies in the first option .

The error lies in the incorrect preposition used after "full". The correct preposition to use with "full" in this context is "of" not "with". Because "full of" is the idiomatic expression used to indicate the contents or what fills something.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: The gentleman had a suitcase full of wigs, ornaments, and dresses.
