Question
In the following question, there are sentences that form a paragraph. Identify the sentence(s) or part(s) of sentence(s) that is/are correct in terms of grammar and usage (including spelling, punctuation and logical consistency). Then, choose the most appropriate options(A) The sun rose, casting a warm golden light across the meadow.(B) Children laughed and played, their voices filling the air with joy.(C) Nearby, a stream gurgled, it’s clear water bubbling over smooth stones.(D) Birds chirped in the trees, creating a cheerful melody which welcomed the new day.
Solution
The sentences (A) The sun rose, casting a warm golden light across the meadow, (B) Children laughed and played, their voices filling the air with joy, and (D) Birds chirped in the trees, creating a cheerful melody which welcomed the new day are all grammatically correct and logically consistent.
However, sentence (C) Nearby, a stream gurgled, it’s clear water bubbling over smooth stones contains a grammatical error. The word "it's" is a contraction of "it is" or "it has", which doesn't make sense in this context. The correct possessive pronoun "its" should be used instead. So the correct sentence should be: (C) Nearby, a stream gurgled, its clear water bubbling over smooth stones.
