Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
We are asked to identify the part of the sentence that has a grammatical error. Let's break down each part of the sentence:
- (A) "Tiger Woods' tumble down": This is correct, though it could be written better as "Tiger Woods' tumble down the rankings," but there is no grammatical error here.
- (B) "the world rankings continued this week": This part is grammatically correct. It describes the continuation of the world rankings.
- (C) "as he slip to eighth place": This part contains an error. The verb "slip" should be in the past tense as "slipped" to match the subject "he". The correct phrase should be: "as he slipped to eighth place."
- (D) "behind England's Paul Casey": This part is grammatically correct.
- (E) "who moved up one": This part is grammatically correct.
Step 1: Identifying the error.
The error lies in part (C) where "slip" should be "slipped" to maintain correct tense agreement.
Step 2: Conclusion.
Thus, the part with the grammatical error is part (C) "as he slip to eighth place."
