Question

He has become (a)/ so weak that even (b)/ a two furlongs (c)/ walk makes him breathless (d).

• A. has become
• B. so weak that even
• C. a two furlongs
• D. breathless

Hint:

When using measurements (two miles, three kilometers, etc.), never use "a" before a plural measure.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Analyze the error. "Two furlongs" is plural. It cannot take the article "a." Step 2: Correction. The sentence should be: "He has become so weak that even two furlongs' walk makes him breathless." \[ \boxed{\text{Wrong phrase: a two furlongs}} \]
