Sentences are given with a part in bold. The given phrase in bold may or may not contain an error. Choose the correct replacement. This is the house that Jack built it.

1. that Jack is building it
2. Which Jack built it
3. whom Jack built
4. that Jack built

Correct answer: that Jack built

Solution

The phrase "built it" is incorrect because the relative clause already refers to "the house". In English, after "the house that...", the object pronoun "it" is unnecessary. So the correct replacement is "that Jack built".
