Question

Identify the type of error in the sentence below. The paintings are in the hallway that I finished. agreement case reference

Answer 1

Answer: C) Reference.

Step-by-step explanation: A pronoun is a word used to take the place of a noun. Sometimes it is unclear what noun is anteceding the pronoun, this is called a reference error. In the given sentence we can see an example of this kind of error, because the pronoun "that" which should replace the noun "paintings" is misplaced, the correct sentence would be: The paintings that I finished are in the hallway.

Answer 2

The type of error in this sentence is reference, the clause that I finished refers to the hallway the way this sentence is written, when it should refer to the paintings.
This is the way this sentence is supposed to be written to correct the error:
The paintings that I finished are in the hallway.
