And thereupon he sudden remembered/ that he was not sleeping in his wife's room, but in his study, / and the smile vanished from his face

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. And thereupon he sudden remembered

  •  It is incorrect to use the adjective "sudden" to modify, the adverb "suddenly" is used with the verb "remembered."
  • "And thereupon he suddenly remembered." is the correct phrase.
  • The remaining parts are grammatically correct:
    • And the Smile vanished from his face: The sentence "and the smile vanished from his face" is appropriate and accurate since it comes after the preceding phrases.
    • That he was not sleeping in his wife's room, but in his study: The sentence "that he was not sleeping in his wife's room, but in his study," effectively highlights the difference in tone.
    • "No error": It is incorrect as the sentence "And thereupon he sudden remembered." contains a mistake.
