    Question

    Read the given sentence to find out whether there are

    any grammatical/ contextual errors in them. The errors, if any, will be in two of the parts of the sentences and the combination of those parts will be the answer of that question. If no part in the sentence has an error then, mark 'No error' as your answer. Consider part (E) in bold as grammatically correct. (Ignore punctuation errors if any) In 2023, Siberian wildfires, (A) / fuelled by unusual warm (B) / temperatures, release smoke that (C) / travelled across the Pacific Ocean to (D) / reach Alaska and Seattle. (E)
    A AB Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B AD Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C BC Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D BD Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Solution The errors are in parts B and C. In B, the adjective UNUSUAL should be replaced with the adverb UNUSUALLY to modify the adjective WARM. In C, the base form verb RELEASE should be replaced with its past tense form RELEASED, as the sentence talks about an action that happened in the past, as indicated by the time reference 'In 2023.' Thus, C is the right answer.
