Which phrase is used incorrectly in the sentence? The patient asked the patient to choose ate items from the menu that are his favorites.
Correct answer
A
Rationale
The original question contained a grammatical error by using 'ate' instead of 'eight.' The correct phrase should be 'eight items' when referring to the number of items. The nurse is instructing the patient to select items from the menu, making 'choose' the appropriate verb in this context. 'His favorites' is the correct possessive form to indicate the items are the patient's preferences. Choice D, 'that are,' is not incorrect in the context of the sentence, making 'A' the error-free choice.
