Question : Identify the segment in the sentence which contains a grammatical error.
Two elderly ladies narrated an rather improbable story to the police.
Option 1: Two elderly ladies
Option 2: narrated an rather
Option 3: to the police
Option 4: improbable story
Correct Answer: narrated an rather
Solution : The segment with a grammatical error is the second option.
Explanation : In English, when the following word starts with a vowel sound, we use the indefinite article an instead of a to maintain smooth pronunciation. However, the word rather starts with a consonant sound, not a vowel sound.
So, the correct sentence should be: "Two elderly ladies narrated a rather improbable story to the police."
