Correct Answer: 2


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

Explanation : The phrasal verb broke away which means to escape, should be replaced with broke up which means to disperse a gathering, to convey the intended meaning in this context. There is an error in the use of the appropriate preposition in the sentence.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "The police broke up the concert as it turned violent."
