Parts of the following sentence have been given as options. Select the option that contains an error.
His mother’s transfer from a small town to Delhi brought up a huge change in his schooling.
Correct Answer :
brought up a huge change
Solution :
The correct answer is brought up a huge change.
Explanation:
The error lies in the phrasal verb "brought up".
The phrasal verb "bring up" means to raise or rear a child, or to mention a topic in conversation.
However, in the context of the sentence, the intended meaning is to cause or produce a change. The correct phrasal verb to express causing something to happen or producing a result is "bring about" (past tense: "brought about").
Corrected Sentence:
"His mother’s transfer from a small town to Delhi brought about a huge change in his schooling."
Therefore, the option containing the grammatical error is brought up a huge change.
