English Grammar – Spot the Error (choose the segment containing the mistake; if there is no mistake, choose ‘‘No error’’). Sentence: “He neglects attending lectures regularly, though college was only a few yards away from his house.”

Introduction / Context:The sentence mixes present-time reference with a past-tense concessive clause and also omits a necessary article. Error-spotting here tests tense consistency and article use with singular countable nouns (“the college”).

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Main clause: present habitual “He neglects attending lectures …”.
• Concessive clause: “though college was only a few yards away …”.
• “College” is a singular countable noun and normally takes the definite article when a specific college is meant.

Concept / Approach:

• Tense consistency: with a present-habitual main clause, the background fact should normally be present (“is”), unless referring to a specific past period.
• Article rule: “the college” when referencing a particular institution known to speaker and listener.
