The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
After a while, / she look up / and saw that / it was getting dark.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. she look up.
The error lies in the verb "look," which is incorrectly in the present tense. It should be in the past tense "looked" to match the past tense of the other verbs "saw" and "was."
This ensures proper tense consistency in the sentence.
Correct sentence: "After a while, she looked up and saw that it was getting dark."
