The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
He sang / beautifully but / the judges were / unimpress at the end.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct is option 2 i.e. unimpress at the end.
The word "unimpress" is not a proper adjective in English.
The correct adjective form to use in this context is "unimpressed."
Adjectives modify or describe nouns, and in this case, we are describing the state or condition of the judges.
"Unimpressed" is the adjective form, indicating a lack of a positive impact or a lack of being impressed.
So, when describing the judges' reaction, we should use "unimpressed" to convey that they were not impressed by the singing.
The corrected sentence reflects the appropriate adjective form: "He sang beautifully, but the judges were unimpressed at the end."
