Question

The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains an error.

The principal gave up / the prizes to / the winners on / Republic Day.

Accepted Answer

The phrase 'gave up' is incorrect in this context. 'Give up' means to quit or surrender, which does not fit the intended meaning of awarding prizes. The correct phrase should be 'gave' or 'gave away' the prizes. Therefore, segment 1 'The principal gave up' contains the error.
