English grammar error-spotting (uncountable noun ‘‘baggage’’ and plural ‘‘bags’’): Read the sentence in parts (A–D) and identify which part contains the error; choose ‘‘No error’’ if there is none: ‘‘At the station, / I'll hire a coolie / to carry my baggages / No error.’’

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: to carry my baggages

Explanation:


Given data

  • C uses ‘‘baggages’’.


Concept / Approach
‘‘Baggage’’ is an uncountable noun; do not use a plural ‘‘-s’’. Use ‘‘baggage’’ (mass) or countable ‘‘bags/suitcases’’.


Step-by-step check
Replace C with ‘‘to carry my baggage’’ or ‘‘… my bags’’ (both acceptable; the test targets the uncountable form).


Note
(Vocabulary sensitivity: ‘‘porter’’ is a more neutral term than ‘‘coolie’’.)


Final Answer
to carry my baggages
