Question

Find out the error in the following sentence, if any. If there is no error, your answer is 'E'.
When the leader (A) was shot dead, (B) the followers (C) were run away. (D) No Error. (E)

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. D
• E. E

Answer 1

The correct option is D D

It will be 'ran way' instead of 'were run away'. Hence, the error is in part D. 'Were run away' is an incorrect grammatical structure. There is no error in the parts A, B and C. The answer cannot be E as the sentence contains an error.
