Answer 2

The edited passage is as follows:

The family consisted of the mother and her four sons. They were greatly agitated to hear the news. Soon they assembled at the gate. They told Dasa about the arrival of the cobra.

• In the given exercise, we need to edit the grammatical errors in the passages and rectify the mistakes.

• In the first error, the number 'four' has been mentioned. Hence it indicates a plural number. Thus it will be 'sons.' In the question, a singular word had been used, which was wrong.

• The verb form was wrong in 'agitate.' Since the sentence is in the passive voice, we need to write it like 'were agitated.'

• The preposition is wrong in the third error. 'At' is used to indicate the location. Thus, it will be ' at the gate.'

• We need to use the abstract noun 'arrival' in the last error. We do not have to take its verb form.
