- A. Does your tram leaw before eight o'clock?
- B. Does your train leave before eight clock?
- C. Does your train leave before eight o'clock?
- D. Do your train leave before eight o'clock?
Explanation
The correct sentence is Option C: "Does your train leave before eight o'clock?" This sentence correctly uses "Does" as the auxiliary verb with the singular subject "your train" to form the present tense question. It also includes the correct spelling of "leave" and "o'clock."Option A is incorrect due to the misspelling of "leaw," which should be "leave." Option B omits "o'clock," making it incomplete in expressing time. Option D uses "Do" incorrectly with the singular subject "train," which requires "Does."

About Error Detection
Error detection requires finding faults in sentence structure, grammar, usage, spelling or punctuation and identifying the correction. The work draws on agreement, tense, pronoun reference, articles, prepositions, modifiers and parallel structure, so the incorrect part must be judged within the complete sentence rather than in isolation.
