Correct Answer: (3)


Solution : The error lies in the third option.

When we refer to an unspecified singular item, we use the indefinite article a. So, the indefinite article a should be placed before good pair of gloves to indicate that we are talking about any good pair of gloves, not a particular one.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "Do you think you could lend me a good pair of gloves to wear to the wedding?".
