Question

The following sentence may have an error in grammar or usage. Parts of the sentence are *starred*. Choose the *starred* part of the sentence that contains an error. If there is no error, choose no error.

Please *stack the dishes*, *from largest to smallest*, in the kitchen *in the cabinet.*

A. stack the dishes,
B. from largest to smallest,
C. in the cabinet.
D. no error

Answer 1

The correct answer is C. in the cabinet.

This is an incorrect usage of the phrase because it would either sound like "in the kitchen cabinet", or the cabinet part would come before the kitchen part. This way we get a sentence that sounds odd.
