Question
You’ve got a whole week to yourself and you can read
to your heart’s contents. In the sentence, identify the segment which contains the grammatical error. If the sentence contains no error, then choose ‘No error’.Solution
The grammatical error of the sentence is in option D. The meaning of a few nouns in plural form is different from their meaning in the singular form. ‘Content’ is such a word. In the given sentence, ‘content’ means “a state of satisfaction”. However, ‘contents’ mean ‘the things that are held or included in something’. Here, the state of being satisfied is mentioned (& ‘heart’ mentioned in the sentence also verifies that.) Thus, it should be ‘heart’s content’ to make the sentence grammatically correct. Correct sentence: You’ve got a whole week to yourself and you can read to your heart’s content.
