Correct option is C
Explanation of the Correct Answer:
· The error is in
"reach their."
· The phrase
"as soon as they" suggests a future event that
must be expressed in the past or future tense to match the sentence structure.
· Instead of
"reach their," the correct form should be
"reached their" or
"would reach their" depending on the intended meaning.
Corrected Sentence:
"They decided to consult a lawyer as soon as they reached their hometown."
Other options:
·
(a) "consult a lawyer" → Correct because "consult" is the right verb for seeking legal advice.
·
(b) "as soon as they" → Correct phrase to indicate immediate action after another event.
·
(d) "home town" → Correct spelling and placement.
Thus, the correct answer is
(c) "reach their."
