Question
A motley crew of (A)/hapless musicians and street
performers (B)/are seen trying to show up citizens (C)/in what appears to be a breadline (D). Read each sentence to find out whether there is any grammatical/contextual error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. Mark the part with the error as your answer. If there is no error, mark ‘No error’ as your answer (Ignore the errors of punctuation, if any).Solution
The phrasal verb ‘show up’ means ‘to arrive somewhere in order to join a group of people, especially late or unexpectedly’. This is not the correct phrasal verb to be used. The correct phrasal verb here is ‘cheer up’. If someone cheers up, or something cheers someone up, they start to feel happier. A motley crew of hapless musicians and street performers are seen trying to cheer up citizens in what appears to be a breadline.
