If the sentence is free from error, click the ‘No error’ option. The vessel is now in (A)/ Maltese waters sheltering from (B)/ high winds and rough sea. (C)/ No error (D) Correct Answer C
Part C of the sentence contains error.
Rule of ‘parallelism’ is violated in this part of the sentence. According to this rule, similar phrases or clauses in a sentence must have the same structure.
‘High winds’ and ‘rough sea’ are similar phrases, therefore both must have the same structure.
Hence, ‘sea’ must be replaced with ‘seas’.
Correct sentence- ‘The vessel is now in Maltese waters sheltering from high winds and rough seas.’
