Identify the segment in the sentence which contains a grammatical error.

He is / afraid from / all insects / that crawl.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. afraid from

  • The phrase "afraid from" is incorrect because the appropriate preposition to use with "afraid" is "of."

  • The correct phrase should be "afraid of."

So, the corrected sentence should be: "He is afraid of all insects that crawl."
