The following sentence has been divided into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
Passengers started behaving / violent when / they were asked / to leave the bus station.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. violent when.
- 'Violet when' is a part that contains an error.
- The mistake is that 'violent' is used as an adjective rather than the adverb 'violently.'
- Adverbs are used to modify verbs in English, not adjectives.
- 'Behaving' is a verb, thus an adverb should modify it.
- 'Passengers started behaving violently when they were asked to leave the bus station' is the corrected statement.
