The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
(1) Ganga was (2) out shopping at the mall (3) and ran over (4) her schoolmate.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 3.
The error is in part (3) "and ran over".
The phrase "ran over" means to drive a vehicle over someone or something, which implies a serious accident or injury. However, in this context, it is likely that Ganga simply met or encountered her schoolmate, not literally ran them over.
Hence, the correct sentence is:- "Ganga was out shopping at the mall and ran into her schoolmate."
