Answer 1

The correct answer is Option 1)

Key Points

The primary issue in the sentence is the omission of the article "a" before the term "week."
Singular countable nouns typically require an article ("a" or "an").
The correct phrase should be "seven days a week," ensuring grammatical correctness and clarity.
Thus, the error is located in Option 1 of the sentence.

Correct Sentence: "My Vice-Chancellor works eighteen hours a day, seven days a week."

Option 4: "a day" – This part of the sentence is grammatically correct and does not require any changes.
No error – This would be the correct option if there were no mistakes in the sentence, but there is an error in Option 1.
