The given sentence is divided into four segments. Select the option that has the segment with a grammatical error.
Jerry driving / home late / when the incident / took place.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Jerry driving.
The error occurs because the verb "driving" needs an auxiliary verb to indicate the continuous action.
In this case, the past continuous tense (was/were + verb-ing) is appropriate because it describes an action (Jerry was driving) that was happening at a specific time in the past when another event (the incident took place) occurred.
Thus, "Jerry driving" is incorrect, and it should be "Jerry was driving."
