English / Spot the errors — Multiple-choice practice
- A. Organizational work hardly
- B. Have had any
- C. Rest since one week
- D. Because of the cricket tournament
Correct answer
Rest since one week
Explanation
Explanation The error is in the phrase "Rest since one week." Corrected phrase: It should be "rest for the past week" or "rest for a week." The phrase "since one week" is incorrect in English. "Since" is used to refer to a specific point in time ( e.g., "since Monday"), while "for" is used to refer to a duration (e.g., "for a week"). So the correct sentence should be: " Because of the cricket tournament and organizational work, I have hardly had any rest for the past week. "
