Question : Identify the segment in the sentence which contains a grammatical error. If there is no error, select 'No error'.
The gentleman had a suitcase full with wigs, ornaments and dresses.
Option 1: a suitcase full with
Option 2: The gentleman had
Option 3: wigs, ornaments and dresses.
Option 4: No error
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.
