As Ali stared at moon, he thought about the past.
Correct answer: A. As
- A. As
- B. moon
- C. he
- D. past
Explanation
The error in this sentence, related to nouns, is in option A.Explanation:"Moon" should have the article "the" before it to refer to the specific celestial body that Ali is staring at. When referring to a particular celestial object, like the moon, the definite article "the" is required.The corrected sentence would be: "As Ali stared at the moon, he thought about the past." This correction adds the definite article "the" before "moon" to specify the particular celestial body Ali is looking at.
