So, they took him and set him to work, but the ground was very stiff and hard that he made slow progress.
Correct answer: C. Very
- A. Took
- B. but
- C. Very
- D. Made
Explanation
The error is in the adjective "very", which is unnecessary and can be replaced with "extremely" or "exceptionally" to emphasize the hardness of the ground, or simply removed to make the sentence more concise.The correct sentence would be: "So, they took him and set him to work, but the ground was stiff and hard, and he made slow progress."
