The following sentence contains four underlined words and are given as options. Identify the option that contains an error.
They were sitting on the chairs in the class talking to each other when they entered in a heated argument.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is 2. i.e. In.
The phrase 'entered in a heated argument' is incorrect.
The correct usage is 'entered into a heated argument' (for starting an argument) or simply 'got into a heated argument'.
'Enter in' is wrong because 'enter' already implies movement into something; adding 'in' is grammatically incorrect here.
