by helicopter to activate the irrigation (2)/systems while other aircraft dropped water along (3)/the flames’ edge to minimize their impact.(4) Read each sentence to find out whether there is any grammatical error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. Mark the part with the error as your answer. If there is no error, mark ‘No error’ as your answer. Ignore the errors of punctuation, if any.Solution
The verb "are" should be in the past tense to maintain consistency with the past tense verbs "winched" and "dropped" later in the sentence. The correct form is "were." The corrected sentence would be: "As the fire approached, firefighters were winched in by helicopter to activate the irrigation systems while other aircraft dropped water along the flames’ edge to minimize their impact."
