The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error. I was / upset because / my mother was / angry on me.

Explanation

The segment that contains a grammatical error is: angry on me. Key Points Using the preposition 'with' in the place of 'on' to make the sentence correct. ‘Angry with' is used when referring to a living thing such as a person, animal etc. Example -The teacher is likely to get angry with the students. ‘Angry with' means having a strong feeling against someone who has behaved badly, making one want to shout at them or hurt them. Here in the given passage, it is said that the narrator is upset because his mother was angry with him. 'Mother' is a living person so 'with' should be used. Therefore, the correct answer is option 2 . Confusion Points "Angry on" cannot be used in English. If directed at a person "angry with" should always be used. Example -I was very angry with her. If directed at a situation "angry at" would be appropriate. Example - I was very angry at how rainy it was. Hence, the corrected sentence is: I was upset because my mother wasangry with me.
