Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. The knight was received.
The error in the original sentence is the use of "was received," which is redundant and not necessary.
The verb "received" alone is sufficient to convey the idea that the knight received compliments from the king.
Therefore, the phrase "was received" should be removed to make the sentence grammatically correct.
Hence, the correct sentence would be: The knight received compliments from the king for his bravery.
