Question #1 Report Error
Identify the error: 'He is a six foot tall man.'
A. a
B. tall
C. six foot
D. man

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
When used as adjective, it's 'six-foot tall', but often 'six-foot' is accepted. 'Six foot tall' without hyphen is sometimes used, but the standard is 'six-foot-tall' or 'six feet tall' (not as adjective). So 'six foot' might be error if not hyphenated. I'll say no error; many accept 'six foot tall'.
