In the following sentence, choose the option which has an error. Aconcagua river rises on the southern slope of the volcano Aconcagua, flows eastward through a broad valley, or bay in the mountains, and enters the Pacific 12 m. Correct Answer Aconcagua river rises on the southern slope

The correct answer is Option 4). 'The Aconcagua river' should be there in place of 'Aconcagua river'​

The definite article 'the' is used with geographical names in three cases:

  • The names are plural

​Example: The Philippines, The Netherlands, The Alps, and so on.

  • The names include common nouns:

​Example: The United Kingdom, The Republic of Poland, The Baltic Sea, and so on.

  • All names of oceans, seas, rivers have 'the'

​Example: The Nile, The Atlantic (Ocean), The English Channel, and so on.

Here 'the' is mentioned before Pacific (Name of Ocean)

The correct sentence is: 'The Aconcagua river rises on the southern slope of the volcano Aconcagua, flows eastward through a broad valley, or bay in the mountains, and enters the Pacific 12 m.'
