Question : Identify the segment in the sentence which contains a grammatical error.
The two trains gave the illusion of been stationary.
Option 1: The two
Option 2: of been stationary
Option 3: the illusion
Option 4: trains gave
Correct Answer: of been stationary
Solution : The error lies in the second option.
Explanation:
Of being stationary
uses the gerund form "being" after the preposition "of" to describe the nature or quality of the illusion. The gerund form ("being") is used to indicate a continuous or ongoing state. In this case, it indicates that the trains appeared to be stationary.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "The two trains gave the illusion of being stationary. "
