Find the part of the given sentence that has an error in it. If there is no error, choose “No error’.
The rabbit lead the boy towards the outskirts of the city.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. The rabbit lead the.

Since the action of rabbit leading the boy towards the outskirts of the city occurs in the past (implied by the narrative style), the past tense of the verb "lead" i.e. "led" is required.

"lead" means to show someone a specific direction. 

Hence, the error lies in the segment - "The rabbit lead the". 

The correct sentence is- "The rabbit led the boy towards the outskirts of the city."
