Identify the part of the sentence that needs to be corrected: Before they were caught they were used to live in the jungle.

ABefore they /

Bwere caught /

Cthey were used to live /

Din the jungle.

Answer:

C. they were used to live /

Read Explanation:

  • ‘They were used to live’, isn’t the correct usage.
  • Instead, it should be, ‘they used to live’. 
  • "Before they were caught they used to live in the jungle means പിടിക്കപ്പെടുന്നതിന് മുമ്പ് അവർ കാട്ടിൽ താമസിച്ചിരുന്നു." 
  • So, "They were used to live" would mean something different. മറ്റാരുടെയോ തീരുമാനമോ നടപടിയോ അനുസരിച്ചു മറ്റാരോ അവരെ കാട്ടിൽ ജീവിക്കാൻ പ്രേരിപ്പിക്കുന്നുവെന്ന് ഇത് സൂചിപ്പിക്കും.
