Correct Answer: was struck by unusual
Solution : The error lies in the second option.
Explanation: The word "unusual" should be preceded by an article to complete the expression. In this case, "unusual" is an adjective but it lacks a preceding article. To correct this, you can use "an unusual wave" to ensure proper sentence structure.
So, the correct sentence would be: This region was struck by an unusual wave of violence last year.
