Question

Which of these sentences contains an error in verb usage?

A. I laid out all the dishes.
B. Sylvia set the glasses out for dinner.
C. I bursted my little sister's balloon.
D. Melissa will rise to the top of her class.

Answer 1

The sentence “I bursted my little sisters balloon” has a misusage of the verb because of the off tempo of the sentence.

The right word that should’ve been used is “popped” for it is an appropriate way of describing the object that the noun had to do. And it also supports the subject’s action in it.
