A thorn from one (A)/ of the prickly bushes pushed (B)/ through the boy’s shoe (C)/ and into his food (D)/no error (E).

A.

B

B.

A

C.

D

D.

C

E.

No error

Correct option is C

Part (A): “A thorn from one”

This is grammatically correct. It properly begins the phrase “A thorn from one of the prickly bushes.”

No error here.

Part (B): “of the prickly bushes pushed”

This completes the phrase correctly:
“A thorn from one of the prickly bushes pushed…”

Grammatically correct structure.

No error here.

Part (C): “through the boy’s shoe”

This is correct. A thorn can push through a shoe.

No grammatical issue here.

Part (D): “and into his food”

Here is the problem.

Logically and contextually, a thorn pushing through a shoe would go into his foot, not his food.

“Food” means something eaten.
The correct word should be “foot” (meaning:
पैर).

This is a word error (spelling/meaning error affecting sense).

Conclusion

The error is in Part (D).
