    A lost interested Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B halfway through the film Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C unfortunately, I Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The grammatical error of the sentence is in option A. ā€˜Interestedā€™ is an adjective which means ā€˜having or showing interest; especially curiosity or fascination or concernā€™. Here, we donā€™t need an adjective as it is not being modified by a noun in the given sentence. And, a noun is needed after the verb ā€œlostā€ to show what had been lost i.e. interest. Interest is a noun that means the feeling of wanting to give your attention to something or of wanting to be involved with and to discover more about something. For example, Iā€™ve always had an interest in astronomy. She never seems to show any interest in dancing. In order to make the sentence correct, replace ā€œinterestedā€ with ā€œinterestā€. Correct sentence: ā€˜Unfortunately, I lost interest halfway through the film.ā€™
