Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence.
The art history teacher was sacked after she were thought taking school supplies.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. she was caught.
- The given sentence contains a grammatical error. The subject-verb agreement is incorrect as the subject "she" is singular and the verb "were" is plural.
- In this sentence, the verb "was" agrees with the singular subject "she."
- Also, instead of thought, it should be caught, as nobody is sacked just upon a thought of felony.
Therefore, the correct sentence is:
The art history teacher was sacked after she was caught taking school supplies.
