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

As soon he heard / the sound of thunder, / he hid / under the bed.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. As soon he heard

  • The phrase "As soon he heard" is incorrect because it is missing the preposition "as." It should be "As soon as he heard."

  • The correct phrase should be "As soon as he heard."

So, the corrected sentence would be: "As soon as he heard the sound of thunder, he hid under the bed."
