In the question below, a part of the sentence is underlined. Below are given alternatives to the underlined part which may improve the sentence. Choose the correct alternative. In case no improvement is needed, choose 'No improvement'. The audience was carried by the emotional speech. Correct Answer got carried away

The correct answer is option 1, i.e., got carried away.

The sentence uses the verb 'was carried', which is incorrect here.

To carry means to transport, conduct, or transmit. Given the context of 'an emotional speech', it doesn't fit here.

Meanings of the given phrasal verbs, viz., verb+ preposition, which modifies the meaning of the verb.:

Carried away- to arouse to a high and often excessive degree of emotion or enthusiasm.

Carried off- Handle successfully, win.

Carried towards is not a correct phrasal verb.

Out of the above, only 'carried away' is appropriate here, given the context of 'emotional speech'.

Thus, the rectified sentence is: The audience got carried away by the emotional speech.
