Explanation:
We need to choose the part that has an error it in.
So, the option with the grammatically correct part is INCORRECT for this question.
Option C: This part "containing the food to him" has an error in it, 'to'.
This is because the verb 'pushed' is followed by the preposition 'toward' and not 'to'. The woman pushed the plate in the direction of the person 'him'.
If we say 'to', it means that she threw the plate at him. But, the woman didn't throw it, she pushed it.
So, 'to' does not give the required meaning as 'toward' does. Hence this is the correct option with the error in it.
Option A: This part has no error. The part is grammatically correct.
Option B: Similarly, this part too has no error.
Hence options A and B are incorrect.
Option D is incorrect because there is an error in C.
Answer:
(B) They all spoke very well.
Explanation:
Correct sentence:
Nath and Seth were (A) the chief speakers of the debate last week.
(B)They both spoke very well.
Since there are only two speakers here, the term 'they all' should be replaced with the term 'they both'.
