Question : Select the word segment that substitutes (replaces) the bracketed word segment correctly and completes the sentence meaningfully. Select the option 'no correction required' if the sentence is correct as given.
Christian turned round and (strided off into) the blackness, and I got into my car.
Option 1: strode off
Option 2: strode of
Option 3: strided of
Option 4: No correction required
Correct Answer: strode off
Solution : The correct choice is the first option.
Explanation : The verb "stride" is irregular, and its past tense form is "strode". In the original sentence, the incorrect form "strided" is used. The correct past tense form to describe someone walking with long steps is "strode".
So, the correct sentence would be: Christian strode off into the blackness, and I got into my car.
