for you anymore.”

D.

"Ouch! I will not work

Correct option is D

Option (d) contains an error.
· Explanation: The interjection "Ouch" is used to express pain, and it does not fit the context of the sentence, which is about a refusal to work. Instead, a different interjection, such as "No!", would be appropriate here.
Correct Sentence:
He replied in a dry tone, “No! I will not work for you anymore.”
Grammatical Rule Used: Interjections should match the emotion or context of the sentence.
Example:
Incorrect: Ouch! I forgot my book.
Correct: Oops! I forgot my book.
