Question : Directions: In the following question, some parts of the sentence may have some errors. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and select the appropriate option. If the sentence is free from error, select "No Error".
The girls watched intently (1) / as the model applied her makeup (2) / with a practiced hand. (3) / No Error (4)
Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (3)
Solution : The error lies in the third part of the sentence.
"Practiced" should be replaced with "practised" to make the sentence grammatically accurate, as it is being used as a verbal adjective, which means trained or experienced in work that requires skill. Thus, "practised hand" is the right usage, as "practise" with an "s" is a verb.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "The girls watched intently as the model applied her makeup with a practised hand. "
