Question : Identify the segment in the sentence which contains a grammatical error.
Poor people have run down of food supplies during the lockdown.
Option 1: Poor people have
Option 2: during the lockdown
Option 3: food supplies
Option 4: run down of
Correct Answer: run down of
Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.
Explanation : The correct phrase is "run out of", not "run down of". " Run out of " is a phrasal verb that means to use up the entire supply of something, which is appropriate in the context of the sentence. The phrase "run down" typically refers to a decrease in energy or health, and it doesn't convey the intended meaning in this context.
So, the correct sentence would be: "Poor people have run out of food supplies during the lockdown."
