Model Answer
Error: "upto" | Correction: "into" — The plug should fit into the outlet, not "upto" (which is incorrect usage here).
Explanation
"Upto" is not standard English and is meaningless in this context. The correct preposition is "into," as a plug is inserted into an outlet. Examiners expect you to identify both the error word and provide the correct replacement.
