      E The beautiful clutch is get old. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      "The clutch of my scooter was creating problems on the way."  Clutch refers to the mechanical device in a vehicle used to engage and disengage power transmission.  The other sentences are incorrect:  1. "The criminal fled the country to escape the clutch of the police."  Clutches should be used in place of clutch which means grasp, control, or power of someone. The statement is incorrect grammatically.  2. "clutch off Dev's hand"  – clutch does not take "off" in this way. 4. "clutch of students"  – clutch is not normally used for a group of students. 5. "The beautiful clutch is get old."  – grammatical error ("is getting old" would be needed), though clutch can mean a small handbag.
