Question : The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
This dog seems / to be very ferocious, / otherwise, / it is harmless.
Option 1: otherwise
Option 2: to be very ferocious
Option 3: it is harmless
Option 4: This dog seems
Correct Answer: otherwise
Solution : The error lies in the first option.
The term otherwise typically introduces a contrasting situation or condition, which is not the case in the given sentence. In this context, the sentence structure does not require the conjunction otherwise.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: This dog seems to be very ferocious; it is harmless.
