It would be the first option, as strike here is acting as a verb

The correct answer is the second option - <span>to occur unexpectedly and have destructive or harmful effects.
</span>Here, the word struck is just a past form of the verb to strike, meaning to happen unexpectedly and have dire consequences, like an earthquake can hit California, in this case. The final definition is a noun, and does not fit in the context of the original sentence.

Identify the type of pronoun error in the sentence. The papers are on the desk that I corrected. reference case agreement
Nat2105 [25]

The correct answer is Reference

Explanation:

In grammar, a pronoun reference error occurs when a pronoun especially the pronouns "that", "those", "it" does not relate correctly to the noun it is replaces which lead to confusing, absurd or ambiguous constructions. This is called a pronoun reference error because the relationship between the pronoun and the noun it refers to that act as a reference or antecedent is not clear. This occurs in the sentence "The papers are on the desk that I corrected", in which the pronoun "that" seemed to refer to the desk when it actually refers to the paper and therefore the relationship between the pronoun "that" and the antecedent "the papers" is not clear. Thus, the type of pronoun error in this sentence is a reference or pronoun reference error.
