Four parts of each sentence below are underlined  and lettered. Identify if there is an error  in any part; if there is no error then select last option. The reason I will not be going   to USA this year is because I will use up all my  travel money attending an important meeting in Singapore. No error

 

A will

B going

C because

D attending

Solution

Correct Answer: Option C

The error lies in the use of "because." In formal writing, it is preferable to use "that" instead of "because" to introduce a reason.

 The corrected sentence should be:

"The reason I will not be going to the USA this year is that I will use up all my travel money attending an important meeting in Singapore."
