Question : Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error. If there is no error, select 'No error'.
Susan had recently run on to / Catherine at the supermarket, they / were seeing each other after many years.
Option 1: were seeing each other after many years.
Option 2: Catherine at the supermarket, they
Option 3: No error
Option 4: Susan had recently run on to
Correct Answer: were seeing each other after many years.
Solution : The error lies in the first option.
Explanation : The error in the original sentence is the use of "were seeing" instead of the past tense "saw". The correction "they saw each other after many years" is appropriate because the sentence describes a past event, and the past tense should indicate the completion of the action at that specific point in time.
So, the correct sentence would be: Susan had recently run on to Catherine at the supermarket; they saw each other after many years.
