Question

Find out the error in the following sentence, if any. If there is no error, your answer is 'E'.
By whom (A) was he helped (B) when he seriously wounded (C) by a terrorist ? (D) No Error.(E)

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. D
• E. E

Answer 1

The correct option is C C

The action of wounding is done by the terrorist upon a person. It's a passive structure where the verb must be in 'an auxiliary+past participle' form. It will be 'he was seriously wounded' instead of 'he seriously wounded'. Hence, the error is in part C. There is no error in parts A, B and D. E cannot be correct as part C contains an error.
