The following sentence has been divided into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error: My sister and I / work very hard / nevertheless my brother does not do / any task assigned to him.

Question

Accepted Answer

The error lies in the segment 'nevertheless my brother does not do'. The word 'nevertheless' is a conjunctive adverb and should be preceded by a semicolon or period, or the sentence should be restructured to avoid a run-on sentence. Also, the phrase 'does not do any task assigned to him' is awkward; it would be better as 'does not do any tasks assigned to him' or 'does not do any task assigned to him' with proper punctuation. The correct way to write this could be: 'My sister and I work very hard; nevertheless, my brother does not do any task assigned to him.' Hence, the segment containing 'nevertheless my brother does not do' is grammatically incorrect.
