Correct Answer: toad or be played Quidditch?


Solution : The error lies in the second option.

Explanation : The error lies in the structure of the sentence, where the verb is played is incorrect. The correct form should be the infinitive form play to maintain parallelism with the structure of the sentence and to convey the intended meaning.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "Do you think I'd rather be stuck in a room with that old toad or play Quidditch?"
