EnglishSpotting Errors
- Acircumnavigated about
- Bcircumnavigated on
- Ccircumnavigated
- Dno improvement
Explanation
Circumnavigate already means to sail or travel all the way around, so around is redundant and must be dropped. Circumnavigated about and circumnavigated on are not idiomatic. Therefore C is the correct improvement.
