Question
We should focus on only one thing in the time.
Parts of the following sentence have been given as options. Select the option that contains an error.Solution
The phrase "at a time" is used to indicate that something is done or considered in a specific period or instance. It implies that we should concentrate on a single task or activity at any given moment. The use of "in the time" is incorrect in this context. It doesn't convey the intended meaning of focusing on one thing at a specific point in time.Therefore, "at a time" is the appropriate prepositional phrase to use in this sentence.
