Question

Identify the part of the sentence that contains an error.

Since they were all dressed up, so she assumed they were going to church together.

1. to church together.
2. dressed up, so she
3. assumed they were going
4. Since they were all

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : dressed up, so she

The correct answer is 'dressed up, so she'.

• 'dressed up, she assumed' should be there in place of 'dressed up, so she assumed'.
• 'Since' denotes the reason so it is not followed by 'so'.
• ​Example: 
  • Since she is a liar, so I do not trust her. (wrong)
  •  Since she is a liar, I do not trust her. (right)

The correct sentence is: 'Since they were all dressed up, she assumed they were going to church together.'
