    Question

    The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains an error.

    "Although the project was challenging / but we managed

    to complete / it on time / with high quality."
    A Although the project was challenging Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B but we managed to complete Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C it on time Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D with high quality Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The error lies in the use of "but" following the conjunction "Although." The conjunction "Although" already introduces a contrasting idea, so the word "but" is unwanted and unnecessary. The corrected sentence would be: "Although the project was challenging, we managed to complete it on time with high quality."
