In the sentence, identify the segment which contains the grammatical error.

The boxes were heavy, so carrying two of them was too much weighted to handle.

Solution

The grammatical error of the sentence is in option C. The structures for much too and too much are:- “Too much + noun”. For example, Too much pain, too much carelessness, too much insincerity, etc. “Much too + adjective”. For example, Much too painful, much too careless, much too wicked, etc. “Weighted” is an adjective, and the correct structure is “too much + weight”. In order to make the sentence correct, replace “weighted” with “weight”. Correct sentence: ‘The boxes were heavy, so carrying two of them was too much weight to handle.’
