Which part of the following sentence contains an error? There is no doubt (a) that hard work (b) paves the way (c) to success. (d)

Answer

The correct answer is A: (d). The idiomatic expression in English is 'pave the way FOR (something)', not 'pave the way TO (something)'. The correct sentence should read: 'There is no doubt that hard work paves the way FOR success.' The error is in part (d) where the preposition 'to' is used instead of 'for'.

  1. A.(d)✓ Correct
  2. B.(a)
  3. C.(b)
  4. D.(c)

Explanation
