Question

Correct the underlined part of the sentence. If there is no error choose "no change."

The article featured the Sea Islands because many were known there to live much as their ancestors of a century ago had lived.

• A. No change
• B. They were known there for living
• C. Many of the people there were known to live
• D. Of the many people, they were there living
• E. Of knowing that many people lived there

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Many of the people there were known to live

Here, there are two errors in the given sentence- 'there' is misplaced within the sentence and there is no antecedent for 'many' other than 'island' and island being a non-living entity renders the question illogical. These errors are rectified perfectly by C. So, C is the answer.
