Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Petrified wood is a type of fossilised wood that exhibits the original details of the wood.
- The phrase "is type of" is incorrect because the noun "type" needs a determiner before it.
- In this case, the article "a" is required to specify that petrified wood is one example of a type of fossilized wood.
- Without "a," the sentence is incomplete. Therefore, the correct phrase is "is a type of," making the sentence grammatically correct.
