Question

In the given question, a sentence is divided into four parts and given in the alternatives (A), (B), (C), and (D). There is an error in one part. Choose the alternative containing that part of the sentence that has the error. Choosing the alternative with the error will be the answer.
Johnsy was so angry with the stranger that she threw her sandals to him hurting just above his right eyebrow.

A.

Johnsy was so

B.

angry with the

C.

stranger that she threw her sandals to him

D.

hurting just above his right eyebrow.

Correct option is C

The correct option is (c).

Explanation:
The error lies in part (C) of the sentence. The preposition 'to' is incorrectly used after the verb 'threw'. When an object is thrown with the intention of hitting someone or out of anger, the preposition 'at' should be used. 'Throw to' is used when you want the person to catch the object (e.g., throwing a ball to a teammate).

Grammatical Rule used:
The verb 'Throw' takes the preposition 'at' to indicate a target or aggressive intent, and 'to' to indicate a recipient intended to catch it.

Example:
He threw the stone at the bird. (Aggressive intent)
Please throw the keys to me. (Recipient to catch). So the correct answer is (c)
