Spot the error.Sarah completed her report though even she had to stay late to get it done.
Correct answer: B. Though even
- A. Her
- B. Though even
- C. Had to
- D. It done
Explanation
This phrase is redundant and awkward. "Though" and "even" both serve to emphasize a contrast or surprising element in a sentence. Using them together is not grammatically incorrect, but it makes the sentence unnecessarily wordy and less clear. It is correct option.
