Vishnu and his friends / were listening to / the radio all morning.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4, i.e., No error.

The sentence “Vishnu and his friends were listening to the radio all morning.” is grammatically accurate:

Subject (“Vishnu and his friends”) agrees with the plural past continuous verb form “were listening”.

The verb phrase “were listening to” is correctly used for an ongoing action in the past, and it appropriately uses the preposition “to” with “listening”.

“the radio all morning” effectively completes the sentence, indicating what they were listening to and for how long.

Thus, no part of the sentence contains an error.
