Spot the error. We reached to the trunks of tall straight pines whose branches reached towards the blue.
Correct answer: B. to
- A. reached
- B. to
- C. straight
- D. towards
Explanation
This preposition is incorrect in this context. After the verb "reached," it should be followed by a direct object or a location, not by another preposition. The correct sentence should be: "We reached the trunks of tall straight pines whose branches reached towards the blue."
