The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
The workers called out / the strike because / the management acceded to / all their demands.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. The workers called out.
- "Call out" means to summon or challenge someone to come forward or to alert others to something.
- "Call off" means to cancel or terminate something, such as a planned event or action. (In this case, the workers would cancel or stop the strike, not summon it.)
Hence, the correct sentence is:- "The workers called off the strike because the management acceded to all their demands."
