Spot the error.Most of the area had for countless years consisted of immense stretches of barren sand, intensely hot.
Correct answer: D. hot
- A. Most
- B. immense
- C. intensely
- D. hot
Explanation
"Most of the area had for countless years consisted of immense stretches of sand that was intensely hot" or"Most of the area had for countless years been immense stretches of barren sand, intensely hot."The original sentence is a bit awkwardly phrased, and "hot" seems out of place at the end. The corrected versions make it clearer that the sand is what's intensely hot.
