Solution

To find the error in the sentence, let's analyze each part of the sentence systematically.

1. Break Down the Problem

We need to identify which part of the sentence contains grammatical or lexical errors among the segments (A), (B), (C), and (D).

2. Relevant Concepts

In standard English, the phrase “true to his word” is commonly used, meaning someone who keeps their promises or speaks truthfully. The phrase “true in his word” is incorrect.

3. Analysis and Detail

  • (A) “I have a childhood friend,” - This part is correct.
  • (B) “I always listen to him” - This part is also correct.
  • (C) “because he is” - This is correct as well, serving as a conjunction linking to the description of the friend.
  • (D) “true in his word.” - The phrase should be “true to his word.” This is where the error lies.

4. Verify and Summarize

All parts have been analyzed, and it’s clear that segment (D) contains the error. The correct form should be “true to his word.”

Final Answer

The error is in part (D); it should be "true to his word" instead of "true in his word."
