Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. classical singer, as she dropped of.
"Dropped of" is a common mistake, as "drop off" generally means to take someone or something to a location, not to leave or quit. The correct phrase is "dropped out," which means to withdraw from something, like a competition.
Hence, the correct sentence is:- "The judges eliminated the classical singer, as she dropped out in the middle of the competition."
