Relieve
Rhythms

​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The correct statement would be;

The train ride was two days long, and there was a kind of relief in the loud noise of the wheels in the lonely clanging of the tracks at night.

Here the word Relieve has been replaced with relief and the word rythm has been replaced with noise. The sound of wheels is generally associated as the noise that is coming from the train and relief has been used to indicate that noise has reduced

​

Answer 2

The error is in the word Relieve.

• The given sentence is a progressive sentence and in a continuous tense as it describes the journey of a train.
• Thus, the form of ing will be used in the verb relieve.
• Thus, the correct sentence is - The train ride was two days long, and there was a kind of relieving in the long rhythms of the wheels in the lonely clanging of the tracks at night
