The museum's revolving doors stopped the crooks as they jammed half way round.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3, i.e. as they jammed half way round.

  • The usage of the word 'round' is inappropriate because the word implies itself as not just an adverb but also a verb, noun, adjective and preposition as well. Whereas the verb 'jammed' requires only an adverb to complete it's meaning. Hence, the correct word would be 'around' which is an adverb.
