EnglishSpotting Errors
- AThe opening batsman was famous
- Bfor the imperial stokes
- Che played on the cricket field.
- DNo error.
Explanation
Part (b) misspells the word: in cricket, the shots a batsman plays are 'strokes', not 'stokes' (a stoke is the act of fuelling a fire or a swimming movement). The phrase should read 'the imperial strokes he played'. Parts (a) and (c) contain no error. The spelling error in (b) makes B the answer.
