Identify the part of the sentence that contains a grammatical error.
The acclaimed Oscar-winning director / famously championed dark cinematic animation / as a legitimately art form / rather than a merely child-friendly escapist genre.
Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation
Answer: (D) as a legitimately art form
Concept (Noun phrase के पहले Adjective, Adverb नहीं): 'art form' एक Noun phrase (संज्ञा पदबंध) है, और उसकी विशेषता Adjective से बताई जाती है। 'legitimately' Adverb है, जबकि यहाँ Adjective 'legitimate' अपेक्षित है। साथ ही Article 'a' का ध्यान रखें: 'a legitimate art form' शुद्ध है।
✓ शुद्ध वाक्य: The acclaimed Oscar-winning director famously championed dark cinematic animation as a legitimate art form rather than a merely child-friendly escapist genre.
Examiner का जाल: Adverb 'legitimately' को Noun phrase 'art form' से पहले लगा देना।
Concept (Adverb in place of adjective: legitimate): 'art form' is a noun phrase, and a noun is described by an adjective, not an adverb. 'Legitimately' is an adverb, whereas 'legitimate' is the adjective needed here. Note also that 'a legitimate art form' takes the article 'a'.
✓ Correct sentence: The acclaimed Oscar-winning director famously championed dark cinematic animation as a legitimate art form rather than a merely child-friendly escapist genre.
Exam trap: placing the adverb 'legitimately' before the noun phrase 'art form'.
