    Question

    Read each sentence to find out whether there is any grammatical or idiomatic error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. The corresponding letter of that part is the answer. If the given sentence is correct as it is, then choose option ‘No error’ as your answer response. (Ignore errors of punctuation, if any).

    D.

    D

    E.

    No error

    Correct option is B

    The correct answer is option (b).
    Error Explanation:
    · The phrase "to fall into" is incorrect because the verb "escape" is always followed by a gerund (verb + ing) and not an infinitive (to + verb).
    · The correct phrase should be "escaped falling into" instead of "escaped to fall into".
    Correct Sentence: "She narrowly escaped falling into the deep trench near the cliff’s edge."
