Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Answer: The error is in the first part of the sentence.
Correct sentence: Tony introduced himself to the chairman as the host of the event.
Explanation:
Why this is an error: When the subject and the object of a verb refer to the same person, use a reflexive pronoun. Here, Tony (subject) is also the one being introduced (object), so the reflexive pronoun 'himself' is required.
Why the other parts are fine: 'to the chairman' is a correct prepositional phrase and 'as the host of the event' correctly describes Tony's role; no changes needed there.
Summary: Insert 'himself' after 'introduced' to make the sentence grammatically correct.
