Read the sentence to find out whether there is any grammatical error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. The letter of that part is the answer. If there is no error, the answer is '4'. (Ignore the errors of punctuation, if any).
She was in very tense as she waited for the interview.

The correct answer is '1' i.e. She was in very tense .

Key Points

• The phrase "She was in very tense" is grammatically incorrect because the word "tense" is an adjective and does not require the preposition "in".
• The correct phrasing should be "She was very tense," which uses the adjective "tense" to describe her emotional state directly.

Correct sentence: She was very tense as she waited for the interview.

Additional Information

• Adjective Usage:
  • Adjectives like "tense" are used to describe a state or condition.
  • They can be used directly after the verb "be" without requiring a preposition.
  • Example: "I am happy." or "He is upset."
