Directions: The undergiven sentence has been divided into three parts (A), (B) and (C). One of these parts may contain an error. You have to mark that part. If there is no error, mark (D).
All were taken (A) back by Jane's participation (B) in the show. (C) No error (D)
B
Correct answer
Explanation
The phrase 'taken back' in this context is not idiomatic English. While 'taken back' can mean made to feel nostalgic or reminded of the past, it doesn't fit well with 'participation in the show'. The intended meaning is likely that everyone was impressed, struck by, or pleasantly surprised by Jane's participation. A more natural construction would be 'All were impressed by Jane's participation' or similar. The phrase 'taken back by' creates confusion about the intended meaning.
