Grammar

Easy

Read the sentence to find out whether there is any grammatical error in it. The error, if any will be in one part of the sentence. The letter of that part is the answer. If there is no error, the answer is 'no error'. Ignore the errors of punctuation, if any.

I could count on one hand the things I know about my friend.

Correct Option: 3
Grammar Rule: Tense Consistency \newline When a sentence starts with a past tense verb ("could count"), all other verbs in the same timeframe must also be in past tense.
Original: "I could count... I know" \newline Correct: "I could count... I knew"
Why it matters: \newline - "Could" shows this happened in the past \newline - Since we're talking about the same time period, "know" must change to "knew" \newline - Exception: If we're describing something that's still true now, present tense can be used with past tense
Examples: \newline ✓ "I could see that she knew the answer" \newline ✗ "I could see that she knows the answer"
Therefore, part 3 "I know about my friend" is incorrect.
