English grammar – Spot the error (choose the part with an error or “No error”). Sentence: There is just not enough / timing in my job to sit around / talking about how we feel / about each other.

Introduction / Context:This item focuses on lexical choice. English distinguishes “time” (available hours/period) from “timing” (choice of the right moment). The sentence describes insufficient available hours, not appropriateness of a moment.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Predicate with existential “There is …”.
• Intended meaning: not enough hours at work to chat.
• Gerund-participial clause “talking …” functions as a complement.

Concept / Approach:Use “time,” not “timing,” when you mean quantity of available hours. Therefore, the error lies in the phrase “timing in my job …”; it should read “time in my job …”.
