Correct Answer: goes ten minutes behind
Solution : The segment with a grammatical error is in the third option.
Explanation: The error lies in the use of behind with the phrase ten minutes. The more appropriate term here is fast instead of behind because the sentence suggests that the watch is running ahead of the correct time.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: I think your watch goes ten minutes fast ; mine shows the correct time.
