Correct Answer: in hurry


Solution : The error lies in the first option .

The indefinite article "a" should be added before "hurry" to make the phrase correct, which means to be in a rush or to do things more quickly. This makes the sentence grammatically accurate and conveys the intended meaning that she was rushing to leave.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: She seemed to be in a hurry to leave.
