Find the erroneous part of the given sentence
Question 53
To perform this experiment (a) / drop little sugar (b) / into a glass of water(c) / No error (d)
Solution
The erroneous part is (b) "drop little sugar". It should be "drop a little sugar" (with the indefinite article 'a'). This is because "Little sugar" means "almost no sugar" (negative quantity), while "A little sugar" means "some small amount" (positive quantity).
The correct statement is : "To perform this experiment, drop a little sugar into a glass of water."
