Question and options
Identify the part of the sentence that contains the error.
She has lots of money and she dare not purchase a new car
She has lots of money and she dare not purchase a new car
- She has lots of money
- and she dare not
- purchase
- a new car
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B - and she dare not
The two clauses contrast: she has money, yet she dare not buy a car. A contrast needs “but”, not “and”, so the part “and she dare not” contains the error; “dare not” followed by the bare infinitive “purchase” is correct.
