Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. who violated.
- The error lies in underlined part due to the wrong usage of tense.
- The given sentence is in past tense.
- So, to make the underlined part correct we need to use the past tense form violated of the verb violate.
- Therefore, the past tense of 'violate' i.e. 'violated' should be used to make the sentence correct.
The correct sentence is:- The warden punished the students who violated the rules of the hostel.
Hence, the correct answer is Option 2 i.e. who violated.
