Hint:

When checking errors, look for tense mismatches and incorrect auxiliary verbs. Even if a sentence looks fine structurally, verb tense may make it wrong.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Check Sentence A.
This sentence is grammatically correct — subject, tense, and object are properly structured. Step 2: Check Sentence B.
This is incorrect: "will not scrap" is grammatically fine, but in the original construction, the tense/context suggests a mismatch. It should read "did not scrap" or "would not scrap" depending on intended time reference. Step 3: Check Sentence C.
Correct: "children told the committee members" is valid grammar. Step 4: Check Sentence D.
Correct: "would keep watch" is valid and grammatically sound. Step 5: Conclude.
Only Sentence B contains the grammatical/usage error. \[ \boxed{\text{B only}} \]
