Spot the error.When whenever we had enough to eat when I was younger, my whole family was completely overjoyed.
Correct answer: A. When whenever
- A. When whenever
- B. I was younger
- C. Whole family
- D. Completely overjoyed
Explanation
The phrase "When whenever" is redundant and incorrect. The correct sentence would be:"Whenever we had enough to eat when I was younger, my whole family was completely overjoyed."Or, alternatively:"When I was younger, my whole family was completely overjoyed whenever we had enough to eat."The word "when" and "whenever" are both used to indicate time, but they have slightly different meanings. "When" is used to indicate a specific time, while "whenever" is used to indicate a general or repeated time.In summary, the correct answer is A) When whenever, which should be replaced with either "Whenever" or rephrased to eliminate the redundancy.
