Point out the part which has an error .a)I was astonished by the highl...
Explanation:
The error is in option A) "I was astonished by the highly exciting tricks."
Reason:
The error in this sentence lies in the use of the word "highly." The word "highly" is usually used to modify adjectives, not verbs. In this case, the word "exciting" is an adjective, and it is being used to describe the noun "tricks."
Correction:
To correct the error, we need to use an adverb instead of the adjective "exciting." The correct word to use in this context is "excitingly," which is the adverb form of the word "exciting." Therefore, the corrected sentence becomes:
"I was astonished by the excitingly tricks."
Alternatively, we can rephrase the sentence to maintain the adjective form of "exciting" by using a linking verb. The corrected sentence would be:
"I was astonished by how exciting the tricks were."
Both of these corrections maintain the meaning of the sentence while correcting the grammatical error.
