Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. hers umbrella.
- The error lies in the second part of the sentence because of the incorrect use of "hers".
- "Hers" is a possessive pronoun that replaces nouns in a sentence. It helps to show a noun's possession.
- Hers should be replaced by her. Her will be used as a possessive adjective that is used to modify the noun by identifying its possession.
Thus, the correct sentence is:
She left her umbrella at the office.
