(a) (b) (c) (d)

• A. a
• B. b
• C. c
• D. No error

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

The correct option is B b
Let’s examine the sentence: “During the earthquake people listened a strange noise and rushed out of homes.” The sentence uses an intransitive verb “listen.” An intransitive verb does not need an object to complete its meaning. Also, if there is an object after “listen” in the sentence than it is followed by the preposition “to.” Hence, the sentence has error in Part b of the sentence. So, Option B is the correct answer.
