Correct Answer: C


Solution : The correct choice is the first option .

There is an error in segment C of the sentence.

The error is in using the article "a" before "expensive car." Since the word "expensive" starts with a vowel sound, it should be preceded by the article "an" instead of "a" to ensure correct grammar.

The correct sentence should be: "He is not rich, so he cannot afford to buy an expensive car."
