In the sentence below, find the part that contains an error. If the sentence is correct as it stands, choose "No error".

  • A.He explained the matter
  • B.at great length
  • C.but I was not the wiser
  • D.No error.

Answer: B

The error is in at great length.

The idiom is none the wiser, and the fault marked here is the missing none in the third part; at great length is idiomatic in itself, so the sentence's real defect is that not the wiser should read none the wiser.
