Correct answer: C

In error-spotting questions, a sentence is split into numbered segments, and the segment that breaks a grammar, usage, or spelling rule is the answer; 'No error' is correct only when every segment matches standard English. A spelling error is a word whose written letters do not match its accepted dictionary form.

Checking each segment of 'I shall (1)/ ring him (2)/ tommorow (3)/ in the afternoon (4)': segments 1, 2 and 4 all follow standard grammar and usage, while segment 3 spells the day after today as 'tommorow' — with a doubled 'm' and a single 'r' — instead of the standard 'tomorrow', which has a single 'm' and a doubled 'r'.

  • Segment 1 — 'I shall': correct simple-future form for a first-person subject; no error.

  • Segment 2 — 'ring him': standard usage meaning 'call him'; no error.

  • Segment 3 — 'tommorow': misspelled; the correct spelling is 'tomorrow'; this is the error.

  • Segment 4 — 'in the afternoon': correctly states the time of day; no error.

  • 'No error': does not apply, since segment 3 does contain a spelling error.

Since the only rule broken in the sentence is the spelling of 'tommorow', segment 3 is the correct answer.
