Parts of the following sentence have been given as options. Select the option that contains an error.

Rani was extreme upset with her results this year.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. extreme upset.

  • The error is in the phrase "extreme upset."

  • The word "extreme" is an adjective, but in this context, it is used incorrectly.

  • It should be "extremely," which is the adverb form that modifies the adjective "upset."

So, the correct phrase should be "extremely upset," indicating a high level of emotional distress.
