Question

Choose the part of the sentence that has an error:
Though we were late, yet we entered the classroom.
A) Though
B) We were late
C) Yet we entered
D) The classroom

Answer 1

Hint: There is an error in the sentence and it may be grammatically incorrect or wrong tense used or wrong spelling or punctuation it could be anything.

Complete step by step answer:
Option A) Though – is an incorrect answer because ‘though’ is grammatically correct. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option B) We were late – is an incorrect answer because ‘we were late’ is accompanied by the word though is grammatically correct, this is an incorrect answer.
Option C) Yet we entered – is the correct answer because ‘yet we entered’ is grammatically wrong because ‘though’ is a dependent clause and ‘we entered the classroom’ is an independent clause, so when an independent clause is used in the sentence the, we will not use ‘yet’. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option D) The classroom – is an incorrect answer because the use ‘the classroom’ is grammatically correct. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option C) Yet we entered is the correct option.

So, the correct answer is “Option C”.

Note:
As in the sentence 'though' is a conjunction used to express contrast, a comma should be used in the place of 'yet'. Hence, yet we entered, is incorrect usage of the word, making option C the correct answer. One more thing we should notice here is that in the mentioned sentence, 'Though we were late' is a dependent clause, whereas, 'we entered the room' is an independent clause. Therefore, the independent clause should not have the word 'yet' as when we add the word the nature of the clause changes from independent to dependent. Since options A, B and D are grammatically sound, they are the incorrect answers to this question.
