Answer 2

Peter sat on the pile of sacks. -This is the answer.

Rectifying error:

• In the question given, we must find out the error in it and also correct it.
• When we are given a sentence to spot the mistake, we must check if there is agreement among the parts of speech in it.
• Especially, the agreement between subject and verb must be looked into.
• But here there is no error in the agreement. but there is an error in the preposition used.
• Prepositions are words that relate the position of noun with the rest of the sentence. They tell about the posture of it.
• Some of the prepositions include: on, in, to, up, down, behind, near, over, beside, beneath, etc.,
• Here we have two prepositions  'down' and 'on'.
• In this case it should be 'Peter sat on' because there is a pile of sacks arranged and he is sitting on that.
• Thus the error is 'sat down on'. The right answer is 'sat on'.
