Back to paper

In the sentence identify the segment which contains the grammatical error.

Deepa walked down the road slowly without looking anybody.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. looking anybody.

  1. The error lies in this segment of the statement because of the missing "Preposition" in between those two words.
  2. We need to use the preposition "at" after the word "looking" to make the statement grammatically correct.

Grammatical concept:- 

  • The verb "look" is followed by the preposition 'at".

The correct sentence will be-

  • Deepa walked down the road slowly without looking at anybody.

Hence, the chosen option is correct.
