I came to this place by walk.
- (a)Error in the first underlined part
- (b)Error in the second underlined part
- (c)Error in the third underlined part
- (d)No error
Answer
C
Why
Correct — C, Error in the third underlined part. The idiom for travelling without a vehicle is 'on foot', not 'by walk'; 'by' is used with means of transport (by bus, by car), so it should read 'I came to this place on foot.'
Why the others are wrong
- (a)Error in the first underlined part — 'I came' is grammatically correct.
- (b)Error in the second underlined part — 'to this place' is correct.
- (d)No error — The sentence does contain an error — 'by walk' should be 'on foot'.
