able to pick you up tomorrow morning E. No error
Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: E. No error
The sentence is grammatically correct. The word “being that” is a subordinating conjunction that introduces a clause that expresses a reason or cause. In this case, the clause “my car is getting its annual check up” is the reason why the speaker will not be able to pick up the listener tomorrow morning. The verb “will not be” is in the correct tense and form to agree with the subject “I.” The verb “able” is used correctly to express the speaker’s inability to pick up the listener. The prepositional phrase “tomorrow morning” indicates the time when the speaker will not be able to pick up the listener.
Here is a breakdown of each option:
- A. Being that my car is getting: This is the beginning of the subordinate clause that expresses the reason why the speaker will not be able to pick up the listener. The word “being that” is a subordinating conjunction that is used to introduce a clause that expresses a reason or cause.
- B. its annual check up: This is the object of the preposition “getting.” The word “check up” is a noun that refers to a medical examination. The word “annual” means “happening once a year.”
- C. I will not be: This is the verb of the main clause. The verb “will not be” is in the correct tense and form to agree with the subject “I.” The word “not” is a negative adverb that indicates that the speaker will not be able to pick up the listener.
- D. able to pick you up tomorrow morning: This is the object of the verb “will not be.” The word “able” is an adjective that means “having the power or skill to do something.” The phrase “pick you up tomorrow morning” indicates the time when the speaker will not be able to pick up the listener.
- E. No error: This is the correct answer. The sentence is grammatically correct.
