Solution

The correct option is A Only D
The correct option mentions the incorrect sentence with the error.
Option B: The phrase 'run over' means 'to quickly practice something'. This phrase does not form a complete meaning in this sentence.
The correction is: You can't walk all over him like that. 'To walk all over someone' means 'to treat someone very badly'.
Hence option B highlights the incorrect sentence.
The other sentences are complete in meaning. Hence we do not choose options A, C and D.
