There is a large amount of sugars in the brownies, so they should not be eaten frequently
Correct answer: C. sugars
- A. is
- B. amount
- C. sugars
- D. they
Explanation
The error in this sentence is in option A. The correct word should be "sugar" instead of "sugars."Explanation:"Sugar" can be used as a mass noun to refer to a substance. When discussing an unspecified amount or quantity of sugar collectively, it's more appropriate to use the non-countable form "sugar" rather than "sugars."The corrected sentence would be: "There is a large amount of sugar in the brownies, so they should not be eaten frequently."
