• B. forward
• C. objectionable
• D. no error

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The sentence provided is: "One of the security guards rushed forward; unlocked the gate and asked whether I had anything objectionable." Let's analyze this sentence for any errors:

• The phrase "One of the security guards" is grammatically correct. It indicates that an individual from a group of guards carried out the action.
• The word "forward" is used correctly. It suggests the direction in which the action of rushing occurred.
• "Objectionable" describes something that might be found unfit or offensive, which fits contextually with the sentence.
• The semicolon is appropriately used to separate independent clauses that are closely related.

Upon reviewing each component of the sentence, it's clear that there is no word or phrase used incorrectly. Therefore, the answer to the question based on the options provided is: no error.
