The oldest person in the world is 114 years old.
Explanation:
- The given incorrect sentence is "An oldest person in a world is 114 years old".
- There are two errors in the given sentence. we need to spot those two errors and rewrite it correctly.
1st error: An oldest person.
2nd error: in a world.
- we should use " The" in front of the superlative adjective "oldest".
- Instead of "in a world" we should use "in the world" because we are talking about a unique world.
Hence, the correct sentence is:
The oldest person in the world is 114 years old.

Answer:
- Here in the given sentence the error is : 'an' before oldest and 'a' before world. They will be 'the oldest' and 'the world'.
- So the rewrite sentence is : The oldest person in the world is 114 years old.
- 'The' is a Definite Article. It is used before world. Indefinite Article 'a is not used before world. Again 'the' is also used before superlative degree and here it is : 'oldest'.
- 'The' is used for single thing and here in the sentence 'world' expresses single, that's why instead of 'a' 'the' has been used.
