Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Although they batted badly
The underlined part of the given sentence is erroneous in nature.
- Unless is used to introduce a sentence that is not true or valid.
- Although is used to introduce a subordinate clause containing a statement that makes the main clause of the sentence surprising.
- Thus, 'unless' is replaced with 'although'.
The correct sentence is:
Although they batted badly, they won the match.
