Spot the error in the following sentence.
A. A Chinese ship
B. laden with merchandise
C. got drowned in the Atlantic Ocean.
D. No error

C

The correct answer is OPTION 3 - C (Error in "got drowned")

• "Got drowned" is incorrect because "drowned" is usually used for living beings (e.g., a person or an animal that dies due to submersion in water).

• For ships and objects, the correct verb is "sank" or "was sunk" if it was caused by an external force.

A Chinese ship, laden with merchandise, sank in the Atlantic Ocean.
