Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. attend the class.
The segment with the grammatical error in the sentence is "attend the class"
The correct form should be "attending the class". The verb "attend" should be in its gerund form "attending" to match the preposition "instead of."
So the corrected sentence is "Instead of attending the class, he went to watch the cricket match."
