Question

Identify the problem in the following sentence:

Started her car and drove to the bank.
A. Misplaced modifier
B. Missing subject
C. Missing verb
D. Subordinate clause standing alone

Answer 1

B. Missing subject.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sentence, the subject is the person or thing doing the verb. This means that the verb has to be acted out by a particular 'subject'. So, the subject is an important part of any sentence.

In the given sentence, the subject is missing. The pronoun "her" for the subject is given, so we know the subject is a female. But as the sentence start with the verb "started", the subject is not given. So, the error in the given sentence is that the subject is missing.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.
