Spot the error. Some of you have come from the areas where your quest for freedom left you batter by the storms of persecution.
Correct answer: C. batter
- A. have come
- B. where
- C. batter
- D. storms
Explanation
"Battered" is the correct word to use, as it means being severely affected or damaged by something (in this case, the storms of persecution).- "Batter" is a verb that means to hit or strike repeatedly, or a mixture of ingredients for cooking, and doesn't fit the context of the sentence.
