SPOT THE ERRORSThe woman (A) still held him by neck(B) in the middle(C) of her room.
Correct answer: B. By neck
- A. The woman
- B. By neck
- C. The middle
Explanation
The sentence should read: "The woman still held him by the neck in the middle of her room."The error in the original sentence is the absence of the definite article "the" before "neck". The correct prepositional phrase is "by the neck", which is an idiomatic expression meaning to hold someone firmly or tightly.
