Question

Find out which part of the sentence has an error and choose that part as your answer out of (1), (2) and (3). If the sentence is free from any error, then choose your answer as choice (4).

• A. I was shocked to hear
• B. That her son
• C. died of an accident
• D. No error

Hint:

Use "died in an accident" when referring to death resulting from an accident, not "died of."

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The error is in the phrase "died of an accident."
The correct expression should be "died in an accident," as we typically use "in" to indicate the circumstances of an event that resulted in death, such as an accident.
"Died of" is generally used with causes like illness (e.g., "died of cancer").
Thus, the correct part of the sentence is "(3) died of an accident."
