Read the passage. Look at the underlined section marked number 4. There may be a mistake in the way the sentence is written. If you find a mistake, choose the answer that corrects the mistake. If there is no mistake, choose ‘Correct as is.’
A) Correct as is.
B) Her carpets were planned for, for not woven, until she knew the size of the room in her new home in which it was to be used.
C) Her carpets were planned for, nor not woven, until she knew the size of the room in her new home in which it was to be used.
D) Her carpets were planned for, but not woven, until she knew the size of the room in her new home in which it was to be used.
D?
Yes, D.
However, it is a really awkward sentence.
That's correct! Option D is the correct answer. "But" is used in this context to show contrast between planning and weaving the carpets. Well done!
Correct answer: D) Her carpets were planned for, but not woven, until she knew the size of the room in her new home in which it was to be used.
Yes, you are correct. The correct answer is D) "Her carpets were planned for, but not woven, until she knew the size of the room in her new home in which it was to be used."
In the original sentence, the word "not" is used incorrectly, and in option B, the word "for" is repeated unnecessarily. Option C also introduces the word "nor" which is not required for the correct sentence construction. However, option D uses the conjunction "but" to correctly indicate that although the carpets were planned for, they were not woven until she knew the size of the room.
