Are you yet afraid of going out in the dark?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Are you yet.

In the sentence "Are you yet afraid of going out in the dark?", the use of "yet" is incorrect because it is typically employed in negative sentences or to indicate a change in state, not to inquire about an ongoing condition.

The appropriate word in this context is "still," which accurately conveys an ongoing state or continuing condition.

Therefore, the corrected sentence should be "Are you still afraid of going out in the dark?" to properly ask if the fear persists.
