Find the incorrect part of the sentence:
The ship drowned in the sea.

Correct option is B

Option (b) contains an error.
Explanation of error: Drown is used for living beings that die in water (e.g., The swimmer drowned). For ships/objects, the correct verb is sink ( sank/sunk). Therefore, it should be: “The ship sank in the sea.”
Grammatical rule used: Verb choice depends on the semantic subject—animate vs. inanimate. Drown (intransitive; humans/animals) vs. sink (intransitive/transitive; vessels/objects).
Example: The boat sank during the storm. / Several passengers drowned after the boat capsized.
Information booster:
· sink–sank–sunk (verb forms).
· founder (of a ship) ≈ fill with water and sink; capsize = overturn.
