I have to choose the sentence that has no error in italics. (Italicized)
a)Their lawyers are handling the case pro bono and not charging them a dime.
b)Yes, of course you can use (and) instead of a comma here.
c)Oh, I see the problem; this (three) should be an (eight) <-- I think
No italics in a)?
isn't t a?
To determine the sentence that has no error, we need to analyze each sentence option and identify any grammatical mistakes. Let's go through each option one by one:
a) "Their lawyers are handling the case *pro bono* and not charging them a dime."
This sentence is correct. "Pro bono" is a Latin phrase that means doing something for free, especially professional work. The use of *pro bono* in this sentence is appropriate, and there are no other errors.
b) "Yes, of course you can use (and) instead of a comma here."
This sentence contains an error. The word "and" should not be in parentheses. The correct sentence would be: "Yes, of course you can use 'and' instead of a comma here."
c) "Oh, I see the problem; this *(three)* should be an *(eight)*."
This sentence also has an error. The numbers "three" and "eight" should not be in parentheses. Corrected, the sentence would read: "Oh, I see the problem; this *three* should be an *eight*."
Therefore, the sentence that has no error is option a) "Their lawyers are handling the case *pro bono* and not charging them a dime."
