About rectifying errors:

• 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 agreement between the noun 'I' and the verb 'was offered'.
• But there is a mistake in the usage of article.
• We have 'a tea' which is wrong.
• Articles are of three kinds -'a', 'an' and 'the'.
• 'A' is used before a singular noun and before the consonant sounds of letters. For example, 'a cat', 'a bike', 'a doctor', etc.,
• But 'a' can be used only before a countable noun.
• 'Tea' is an uncountable noun. Therefore there must be no article before it.
• Therefore the answer is: I was offered tea.
