Correct Answer: to an United Kingdom


Solution : The error lies in the second option.

The error lies in the use of the article "an" before "United Kingdom." The correct article to use before "United Kingdom" is "the".'The article "the" is used only for countries whose names have a negative connotation.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: Roger went to the United Kingdom with his wife to celebrate Christmas.
