Answer 1

Hint: Here in the above question, we need to find out which part of sentences contains errors. Some of the following tips to solve for spotting the errors:
- When attempting to answer questions about finding mistakes, the first move is to carefully read the entire sentence. In most situations, you'll be able to spot the mistake on the first try. You must carefully verify the subject-verb agreement when reading the entire sentence.
-The following move is to double-check all spellings. Many times, a mistake in spelling can be detected.
- If you still can't find the error or aren't sure what the correct answer is, read each part of the sentence separately and carefully analyse which part contains an error.

Complete answer:
In verbal reasoning, the question of spotting errors is posed. You must identify grammatically incorrect sentences and errors. This mistake may be something. They can be anything, from noun to pronoun, singular/plural, and word use.

Let us now evaluate the options as follows:
Option A) “The meeting adjourned abruptly’: is the correct answer because there is an error in this option however, this option is similar to the past tense of the verb. Hence there is an error in this option and if we read this sentence ‘The meeting adjourned abruptly’ this does not give any relevant meaning so use of ‘WAS’ should be there in the sentence to give the complete sentence. Thus, this is the correct answer.
Option B) “By the CEO after”: which completely adorn the usage of the sentence without any error on it as they have correctly mentioned the verb format of it. Hence there is no error in this phrase thus the Option B is not the correct answer.
Option C) “About three hours of deliberation”: in this sentence also shows the correct usage of words with its placement of verbs. Hence there is no error in this sentence thus the Option C is also not the correct answer.
Option D)No error – this is an invalid option because the correct answer lies in option A. Therefore, this is an incorrect answer.

Thus, the correct option A – The meeting adjourned abruptly. The meeting WAS adjourned abruptly by the CEO, after about three hours of deliberation.
