SPOT THE ERRORI was made sit quietly by my examiner until everyone had finished
Correct answer: B. sit
- A. was
- B. sit
- C. examiner
- D. had
Explanation
Add "to" before"sit".The sentence is incorrect because it lacks the preposition "to" before the verb "made." When using "made" in this context, it should be followed by an infinitive verb form with "to." Adding "to" before "sit" makes the sentence grammatically correct.
