Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error. If there is no error, select 'No error'.

I am shocked as I saw her / yesterday, I was horrified / when I saw her today.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. I am shocked as I saw her.

  • The error in the sentence is related to the use of incorrect verb.
  • The sentence is in the past tense, as we can understand from "yesterday".
  • So, we must use the past form of the be verb.
  • Thus, "am" should be replaced with "was".
  • The correct sentence will be: I was shocked as I saw her yesterday, I was horrified when I saw her today.
