- A(a)
- B(b)
- C(c)
- D(d) No error
Explanation
The error is in part (c): after ‘too... to’ the base form of the verb is required — ‘too abominable to describe’, not ‘to described’. ‘To’ here is the infinitive marker, which never takes a past participle. Parts (a) and (b) are correct. Hence the error is in (c).
