Question

Read each sentence to find out whether there is an error in any underlined part.

• A. (a)
• B. (b)
• C. (c)
• D. No error

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

(a)

Here, "The meeting adjourned abruptly" is a passive formation and the auxiliary 'was' is required: The meeting was adjourned abruptly. So, we can conclude that option A carries the error.
