Error

• In the given exercise, we need to find the grammatical errors in the given sentences. The sentences have been divided into parts, and we need to choose the part with the error.

• The parts of the speech are placed correctly in options a, c, and d. There is no grammatical error in these parts.

• However, in option b, there is an error in the degree of adjective. The adjective 'worst' has been used, which is a superlative degree of adjective. However, we are not establishing the greatest or the worst condition in this sentence. We are simply stating the worse conditions of the wall.

• Thus, the adjective should be 'worse,' which is in the positive degree of the adjective.
