Question : Identify the segment in the sentence which contains the grammatical error.
A large section of a hotel under construction collapse in New Orleans last Saturday.
Option 1: A large section of a hotel
Option 2: collapse in New Orleans
Option 3: last Saturday
Option 4: under construction
Correct Answer: collapse in New Orleans
Solution : The error lies in the second option.
The segment "collapse in New Orleans" contains a grammatical error because the verb "collapse" should agree in tense with the rest of the sentence. Since the sentence is describing an event that occurred in the past ("last Saturday"), the correct form is "collapsed" instead of "collapse."
Therefore, the correct sentence should be "A large section of a hotel under construction collapsed in New Orleans last Saturday."
