Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is 'your work'.
Key Points
- The erroneous part of the given sentence is 'your work'.
- You and I implies that the work was a group effort.
- Your is the possessive form of the pronoun you. Your is used as a second-person possessive adjective. This means that the word your is always followed by a noun which belongs to or is associated with you.
- But the sentence implies that the work does not belong to a single person.
- Hence, the error lies in using the possessive determiner your before work.
- So, option 3 is the correct answer.
Correct sentence - You and I / have submitted / our work / on time. "or" You and I / have submitted / the work / on time.
