Stella usually manages / the waste materials and / disposed them meticulously.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. disposed them meticulously.
-
The error lies in the verb tense. The sentence starts with "Stella usually manages," which is in the present tense.
-
To maintain consistency, the following action should also be in the present tense. However, "disposed them meticulously" is in the past tense, which creates a mismatch.
-
The correct verb form should be "disposes," keeping both actions in the present tense: "Stella usually manages the waste materials and disposes them meticulously."
