They left the car by the aside of the road and venture toward the forest.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. the side of the road and ventured into.
The underlined sentence contains two errors.
The first error is the use of the phrase "the aside of the road." The word "aside" is not the correct word in this context. Instead, it should be "side." "By the side of the road" is the correct phrase, which means the car was parked next to the road.
The second error is the use of the phrase "venture toward the forest." The phrase should be "ventured into the forest." "Venture" means to undertake a risky or daring journey, and "toward" means in the direction of. However, in this context, the sentence is describing a specific journey taken into the forest, so the correct phrase is "ventured into the forest."
Therefore, the corrected sentence is: "They left the car by the side of the road and ventured into the forest."
