He goes to his office / by bicycle / every day. / No error.
- (a)He goes to his office
- (b)by bicycle
- (c)every day
- (d)No error
Correct — D, No error. Every segment is correct. The present simple 'goes' states a habit, 'by bicycle' is the standard way to name a means of transport with no article, and 'every day' is the correct two-word adverbial of frequency.
- (a)He goes to his office — The singular subject agrees with 'goes', and the present simple is the right tense for a routine, so this segment is sound.
- (b)by bicycle — After 'by' a means of transport is written as a bare noun, exactly as in 'by bus', 'by train' and 'by air', so no article is missing.
- (c)every day — Written as two words this is the adverbial phrase meaning daily, which is precisely what the sentence needs.
A spotting-errors item on the zero-article rule after 'by' with means of transport, and on the two-word adverbial 'every day'.
Both traps here are about spelling and article habits rather than sentence structure. Adding 'a' before 'bicycle' or closing 'every day' into one word would each create a real error, and the item checks that a student can see that neither has happened.
- 'By' plus a bare noun covers by bus, by car, by bicycle, by train, by sea and by air, while 'on foot' is the exception.
- 'Everyday' written as one word is an adjective meaning ordinary, as in 'everyday clothes'.
- Marking a clean segment because the sentence looks too simple to be error-free.
