Back to paper

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

She gave a loud shout, which heard across the village.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. which heard.

  1. The error lies in option 3 because of the wrong use of "Voice".
  2. We need to replace "Heard" with "Was heard" for making the statement grammatically correct.

Grammatical concept:- 

  • The given statement does not have an active doer hence, we need to write the second part of the statement in the passive voice.
  • "Be + past participle" is the correct form of the passive verb phrase.
  • The chosen option contains the Grammatical Error hence, it will be the correct choice.

Correct Sentence:-

She gave a loud shout, which was heard across the village.
