Question

Identify the segment in the sentence that contains a grammatical error.
The atmosphere become tensed as heated words were exchanged.

A.

become tensed

B.

The atmosphere

C.

were exchanged

D.

as heated words

Correct option is A


The incorrect segment is "become tensed."
Explanation:
· The correct phrase should be "became tense" instead of "become tensed."
· "Become" is the present form, whereas "became" is the past tense form, which is required here.
· "Tense" is an adjective, while "tensed" is incorrect in this context.
Correct Sentence: The atmosphere became tense as heated words were exchanged.
Grammatical Rule Used:
· "Become" is the base form, while "became" is the simple past form.
· "Tense" is an adjective, not "tensed."
· "Tensed" is usually used as a verb in passive structures (e.g., "His muscles were tensed").
Explanation in Hindi:
· "Become" का उपयोग वर्तमान या भविष्य की घटनाओं के लिए किया जाता है।
· "Became" अतीत (past) की घटनाओं के लिए प्रयोग किया जाता है।
· "Tense" विशेषण (adjective) है, जबकि "tensed" गलत प्रयोग है।
· सही वाक्य: "The atmosphere became tense as heated words were exchanged."
