Identify the error in the following sentence: (a) No one turned up (b) to claim the stowed away piece of baggage (c) which was discovered on the luggage compartment of the bus. (d) No error.
A.No one turned up
B.to claim the stowed away piece of baggage
C.which was discovered on the luggage compartment of the bus.✓ Correct
D.No error.
Explanation
The error is in part (c). The preposition 'on' is incorrect with 'luggage compartment'. Baggage is discovered 'in' (inside) the luggage compartment, not 'on' it. The correct preposition for being inside a compartment is 'in'. Parts (a) and (b) are grammatically and idiomatically correct.
