    Question

    Read the sentence to find out whether there is any

    grammatical or idiomatic error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. The letter of that part is the answer. If there is ‘No error’, the answer is (5). (Ignore errors of punctuation, if any).                                                                                               In June, supervisors balked at a request for $14 million to rebuild a 12-bed psychiatric unit which hospital shuttered in October.
    A In June, supervisors balked at Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B a request for $14 million to rebuild Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C a 12-bed psychiatric unit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D which hospital shuttered in October Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The error lies in part 4 . The sentence is missing an article ("the") before "hospital." Without the article, the sentence feels incomplete or incorrect. The phrase should refer to a specific hospital, so "the" is needed.
