Identify the word in this sentence that contains an error. He dived in the lake with his shoes on.

Explanation

The correct option is (d). Option (d) contains an error. Detailed explanation of error: The verb “dive” is normally followed by the preposition “into” when we mean entering water from outside by jumping or plunging. The sentence describes the action of entering the lake, so the correct expression is “dived into the lake”, not “dived in the lake”. “In the lake” would describe a location (already inside the lake), whereas “into the lake” describes movement from outside to inside. Correct sentence: He dived into the lake with his shoes on. Grammatical rule used: Use “into” for movement towards the inside of something; use “in” for position/location inside something. Example: The child jumped into the pool. (movement) / The child is in the pool. (location) So the correct answer is (d)
