AA learner error
BA slip of the tongue
CA random lapse
DA careless mistake
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. A learner error
1. A systematic deviation that shows incomplete learning is an error.
2. Slips and lapses are not systematic, so they are not errors in this sense.
3. Because the learner repeats the wrong form consistently, it points to a gap in knowledge.
