    Question

    Identify the segment in the sentence which contains the grammatical error from the given options.

    My friend has started a restaurant in a wooden big

    building in Manali.
    A in Manali Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B in a wooden big building Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C My friend has started Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D a restaurant Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Here, the order of adjectives is incorrect. It should be: 1. Quantity or number 2. Quality or opinion 3. Size 4. Age 5. Shape 6. Colour 7. Proper adjective (often nationality, other place of origin, or material) 8. Purpose or qualifier. Thus, the error lies in option 2. Instead of ‘wooden big building’, ‘big wooden building’ is correct. My friend has started a restaurant in a big wooden building in Manali.
