    Question

    The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error and select the option which rectifies that error.

    The teacher recommended that / the students to review

    their notes / before the exam / to ensure they are prepared.
    A The teacher recommended that Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B the students to review their notes Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C before the exam Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D to ensure they are prepared Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The error is in the segment "the students to review their notes." The correct form should be "the students review their notes." When using "recommended that," the verb that follows should be in its base form (without "to"). Therefore, it should be "the students review their notes" instead of "the students to review their notes."
