The poet longed over the bygone days and mused over the time spent with friends and relatives.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The error is in part (A) of the sentence, "The poet longed over the". The verb "longed" is used with the incorrect preposition. The correct preposition to express a strong desire for something or someone, especially something that is lost or absent, is "for". Therefore, the correct phrasing should be "The poet longed for the".
