Question
For decades, scientists believed the Moon formed from
debris as a collision between a young Earth and another celestial object. In the question given below, a sentence is given with a part of it printed in bold type. That part may contain a grammatical error. Each sentence is followed by phrases 1), 2), 3) and 4). Find out which phrase should replace the phrase given in bold to correct the error, if there is any, and to make the sentence grammatically meaningful and correct.Solution
The original bold phrase "from debris as a collision between" contains a grammatical error. The word "as" is not appropriate in this context, as it implies simultaneity rather than causation. Option 3, "from debris following a collision between," correctly conveys that the Moon formed from debris that resulted after the collision. It maintains clarity and grammatical accuracy. For decades, scientists believed the Moon formed from debris following a collision between a young Earth and another celestial object.
