Don't Miss: Month-wise current affairs
Suggested: Upcoming government exams
Correct Answer: swing open the door
Solution : The error is in the segment in the second option.
Explanation : The correct form of the verb should be "swung" to maintain consistency in the past tense. To maintain grammatical consistency, both verbs in a compound sentence should be in the same tense. Therefore, "swing" should be corrected to "swung" to align with the past tense of "jumped".
So, the correct sentence would be: "The detective jumped down from the roof and swung open the door."
