Correct Answer: The knight was received


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option .

There is an error in the structure of the verb and its complement. This structure implies that someone else received the knight in the past. To convey that the knight received compliments, the correct form should be "The knight received compliments from the king for his bravery" . This revision indicates that the knight is the recipient of the compliments given by the king.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: The knight received compliments from the king for his bravery.
