Question : The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
I have a dog and a cow. / A dog is black / but the cow is / black and white.
Option 1: A dog is black
Option 2: black and white
Option 3: but the cow is
Option 4: I have a dog and a cow
Correct Answer: A dog is black
Solution : The error lies in the first option.
Explanation: The phrase "a dog is black" was adjusted to "the black dog", offering specificity about the colour of the dog and maintaining consistency with the subsequent details. Furthermore, the definite article "the" before "dog is black" completes the sentence grammatically and clearly refers to the same black dog mentioned earlier.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: I have a black dog and a cow. The dog is black, but the cow is black and white.
