Anant was telling a story about his most recent exploits when a tree branch break the living room window.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. when a tree branch break the living room window.
The part containing the error is: "when a tree branch break the living room window."
The correct form should be: "when a tree branch broke the living room window."
The verb "break" should be in the past tense to agree with the past tense context established by "was telling" earlier in the sentence.
Therefore, the correct form is "broke" instead of "break'.
