Spot the error:Until my friends went ice skating, I would always stay at home for fear of falling down on the ice.
Correct answer: B. Would always
- A. Until
- B. Would always
- C. For fear of
- D. On the ice
Explanation
The sentence is contradictory because it states that until the friends went ice skating, the speaker would always stay at home for fear of falling down on the ice. However, the phrase "would always" implies a consistent action in the past, but the sentence suggests that the speaker's behavior changed after their friends went ice skating.A more logically sentence would be: "I used to stay at home for fear of falling down on the ice, but after my friends went ice skating, I decided to join them."In summary, the correct answer is B) would always, as it highlights the inconsistent behavior described in the sentence.
