Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. The aeroplane took down.
The segment "The aeroplane took down" contains the error.
"Took down" is incorrect in this context.
"Take down" means to dismantle or remove, which does not fit the meaning of the sentence.
The correct phrase should be "took off" because "take off" means an aeroplane leaving the ground.
Example: The plane took off from the runway
Correct Sentence: The aeroplane took off without the passengers after making a sudden announcement.
