Question 106

English Basic English Grammar Easy

<p><strong>Directions: </strong>Pick the part of the sentence that has an error:</p> <p><u>My elder brother is a MA whereas I am only a BA</u>.</p>

(A) My elder brother
(B) is a MA
(C) whereas I am
(D) only a BA
✓ Correct Answer: Option B Verified Solution

📘 Step-by-Step Solution & Detailed Explanation:

The article depends on the sound, not the letter. "MA" is pronounced "em-ay", which starts with a vowel sound, so we use "an".

"My elder brother is an MA." The error is in part (B). ("a BA" is correct, since "bee" starts with a consonant sound.)

Answer: (B)
