Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. She rarely approached nobody.
-
The error is in the first part of the sentence. The correct construction should be:
'She rarely approached anybody' -
The use of 'rarely approached nobody' creates a double negative, which is grammatically incorrect.
-
The correct version should use 'anybody' instead of 'nobody' to convey the intended meaning.
