The following sentence has been divided into five segments. The first segment has no error. Select the option that has the segment with the grammatical error.
Due to the pandemic, / the prices of / medicines increased / every day since / last December.

Question

Accepted Answer

The error lies in the segment "medicines increased." The phrase "every day since last December" requires the present perfect tense to indicate an action that began in the past and continues to the present. The correct verb form should be "have increased" instead of "increased."  
So, the sentence should read:  
"Due to the pandemic, the prices of medicines have increased every day since last December."

Therefore, the segment with the grammatical error is option 2: "medicines increased."
