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 social activist (1) / was murder (2) / in cold blood. (3) / No error (4)
Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (2)
Solution : The error lies in the second part of the sentence.
The sentence is in the past tense, and it describes the action of the social activist being killed. The word murder should be in its past participle form murdered to form the passive voice, which is the appropriate tense. So, it should be "was murdered."
Therefore, the correct sentence is: The social activist was murdered in cold blood.
