Question 80

Pick out the part of the sentence which has an error. If there is no error mark ‘4ʼ.
A) A white rhinocerous
B) is close
C) to extinction

Solution

Whenever extinction is mentioned, it is referred to in the context of an entire species. Therefore, referring to 'a' white rhinoceros as being close to extinction is not sensible. The correct phrasing would be to write 'the white rhinoceros' (which would, instead, refer to the entire white rhinoceros species). The error is, therefore, in part A. Option A is the correct answer.
