Explanation:
The given sentence is grammatically correct except for the incorrect use of the article 'a' before 'expensive car'. Here, we need to use the article 'an' instead of 'a' because the word 'expensive' starts with a vowel sound 'e'. Hence the correct sentence is "I am not wealthy so I cannot afford to buy an expensive car."
Therefore, option (C) is the correct answer.
Grammar Rules Applied:
Use of Indefinite Article 'a' or 'an':
- We use 'a' before a word that starts with a consonant sound.
- We use 'an' before a word that starts with a vowel sound.
Examples:
- A book (because 'b' sounds like a consonant)
- An hour (because 'h' is silent and the word starts with a vowel sound 'au')

The correct form should be:
(B) "to the famous monument"
So the corrected sentence should read:
"The road to the famous monument passes through a forest."

Error identification questions test a candidate's ability to recognize grammatical errors in a given sentence. In this particular sentence, the error lies in the use of the article "an" before "experience".
Explanation:
- Indefinite articles "a" and "an" are used before singular countable nouns that are non-specific or for the first time.
- "Experience" is a non-countable noun and does not take "an" before it.
- The correct sentence should be "This candidate lacks experience, otherwise he is well qualified."
Therefore, option (B) is the correct answer.
