Question

The given options contain parts that form a complete sentence.

Choose the option which contains any grammatical error in it.

If there's no error, choose Option D:

• A. An lndian ship
• B. laden with merchandise
• C. got drowned in the Pacific Ocean
• D. no error

Answer 1

The correct option is C got drowned in the Pacific Ocean

The option with the error is the correct option.
Option C: The phrase "got drowned" is erroneous because 'drowned' is used for people. The word means 'to die through submersion in water'. The verb 'sank' must replace the phrase. It means the same and refers to objects, like the ship.
(The correct form will be: sank in the Pacific Ocean.)
Hence C is correct.
Options A and B are grammatically correct. Neither have any error, hence A and B are incorrect options.
Option D is incorrect as the error lies in C.
