Find the part of the given sentence that has an error in it. If there is no error, choose “No error’.

He tried not to care and keeping marching forward.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. keeping marching forward.

The error lies in the part: "keeping marching forward."

The verb "keeping" should be changed to "kept" to maintain parallelism with the past tense verb "tried" earlier in the sentence.

The corrected sentence: He tried not to care and kept marching forward.
