Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. tripped over some large roots and cut.
Statement: Doctor Bayley tripped under some large roots and cuts her head on a rock.
- The preposition 'under' should be replaced by 'over.'
- Under is used to talk about something that is below or lower than something else.
- Over is used to talk about movement or position at a higher level than something else.
- The verb "cuts" should be in the past tense "cut" to maintain consistency with the past tense "tripped" used earlier in the sentence.
Correct statement: Doctor Bayley tripped over some large roots and cut her head on a rock.
