Can any one please help he out in finding the error in the bellow sentence (SC Question) by Manhattan way.

Psycholinguistics uses "garden path sentences," which is grammatically correct but require reinterpretation by the end, for example "The woman whistling tunes pianos," to show that people build their understanding of a sentence one word at a time.

Thank you.
