Question

click or tap on any mixed constructions in the following passage. if the passage doesn’t contain any mixed constructions, click the “no errors” button.
civicscience, a polling and marketing intelligence company, ran a survey in 2015 to find out how much reality television americans are watching. the company found that the overall number of people watching reality tv is dropping, but that there is a core group of “super fans” who continue to watch. for a reality television “super fan” is someone who watches a least five hours of reality tv per week.

Explanation:

A mixed construction error occurs when a sentence starts with one grammatical structure and then shifts to another. In the sentence "For a reality television 'super fan' is someone who watches a least five hours of reality TV per week," the preposition "For" is incorrectly used at the start, creating a mixed construction. The correct structure should be something like "A reality television 'super fan' is someone who...". So the mixed construction is in the part "For a reality television 'super fan'".

Answer:

The mixed construction is in the sentence: "For a reality television 'super fan' is someone who watches a least five hours of reality TV per week" (specifically the "For a reality television 'super fan'" part). If we were to click, we'd click on that portion. But since the task is to identify, the error is in that sentence's opening with "For".
