    Question

    In the following questions, some part of the sentence

    is highlighted. Which of the options given below the sentence should replace the part to make the sentence grammatically correct? If the sentence is correct as it is given then choose option E ‘No Correction required’ as the answer.  She was so scared on seeing the lion that she shooked like a leaf. 
    A shaked like a leaf Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B shook like a leaf Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C shook like a leaves Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D shake like a leaf Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No correction required Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The original sentence contains a verb form that is not correct. The past tense of "shake" is "shook," so the sentence should correctly use "shook"to describe the action in the past. The phrase "shook like a leaf" is used to describe someone who is trembling or shaking  uncontrollably due to fear, nervousness, or extreme anxiety.
