Question : In the sentence identify the segment which contains the grammatical error.
'Plogging' is an international trend, in which someone picking up trash while jogging or brisk walking.
Option 1: in which someone
Option 2: picking up trash
Option 3: 'Plogging' is an international trend
Option 4: while jogging or brisk walking
Correct Answer: picking up trash
Solution : The error lies in the second option .
The error lies in the verb tense inconsistency, as the verb is in the present participle form, while the verb "is" in the main clause suggests a need for a simple present tense verb. Thus, the present participle "picking" should be changed to the simple present form "picks" to make the sentence grammatically accurate.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "'Plogging' is an international trend, in which someone picks up trash while jogging or brisk walking."
