Explanation:
The given sentence is grammatically incorrect because it uses the word "marbles" instead of "marble". In this context, "marble" is a countable noun, so it should be used in its singular form. Therefore, the correct sentence would be "The house is made of brick and stone, not of marble."
Let's break down the sentence to understand the error and the correction more clearly:
The house
- The subject of the sentence is "the house." This part is correct.
is made of brick
- The verb "is made" is used to describe the action of creating or constructing something.
- The prepositional phrase "of brick" is used to indicate the material from which the house is constructed. This part is correct.
and stone not
- The conjunction "and" is used to connect two elements, in this case, "brick" and "stone."
- The word "not" is used to indicate negation or denial.
- This part of the sentence is also correct.
of marbles
- The word "marbles" is incorrect in this context. "Marble" should be used instead.
- "Marble" is a countable noun, so it should be used in its singular form when referring to a material.
- The correct sentence should be "The house is made of brick and stone, not of marble."
Therefore, the error in the given sentence is in option (D), and the correct sentence should be "The house is made of brick and stone, not of marble."
