Question

Read the sentence, and decide whether the underlined portion contains a mistake.

A. To those involved in the tragedy, a feeling of relief came.
B. The tragedy relieved those involved.
C. No improvement or correction is required.
D. Everyone involved in the tragedy felt relief.
E. Relieving those involved in the tragedy was a goal.

Answer 1

The original sentence is grammatically correct, so option C (No improvement or correction is required) is the right answer. Other options are merely alternative phrasings and not corrections.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentence "Relief came to everyone involved in the tragedy when the attorney settled the case out of court." does not contain a grammatical mistake, so option C, No improvement or correction is required, is the correct answer.

Options A, B, D, and E are alternative ways of restructuring the same idea, but none of them are necessary to correct a grammatical error in the original sentence.

It's important to keep the focus on the fact that the relief experienced by those involved was a result of the attorney settling the case, which is clearly conveyed in the original sentence.

So option C.
