Spot the error.Choosing between the carrot cake with cream cheese frosting or the marble cake with chocolate ganache was an agonizing decision.
Correct answer: B. Or
- A. Choosing
- B. Or
- C. Was
- D. Agonizing
Explanation
The sentence should read: 'Choosing between the carrot cake with cream cheese frosting and the marble cake with chocolate ganache was an agonizing decision.' The error is in the use of 'or' instead of 'and'. When presenting two options that are both considered, 'and' is the appropriate conjunction. Although 'agonising' is also a valid British English spelling, it is not the focus of the error in this context.
