Identify the error: He is married with a doctor.

A. is married
B. with
C. a doctor
D. No error
Correct Answer: B. with
Explanation:


The correct answer is with because the adjective 'married' takes a specific dependent preposition when linking to a spouse.



    • Step 1 (Grammatical Rule): In standard English, the verb or adjective 'married' is paired with the preposition 'to' to indicate a marital relationship (e.g., married to someone).

    • Step 2 (Correction): Using 'with' is a common structural error. The sentence must be corrected to read: 'He is married to a doctor.'


    • Incorrect Options:

      • is married is incorrect because the passive verb construction is grammatically sound for this description.

      • a doctor is incorrect because it functions as a perfectly valid singular noun phrase completing the prepositional target.

      • No error is incorrect because using 'with' after married is a distinct grammatical violation.
