Question

unfortunately, the poor eating habits of parents are often past down to their children.
what is wrong with the sentence?
a. the sentence is not quoted.
b. the sentence contains a typo.
c. the sentence gives an opinion.
d. the sentence is not cited.

Explanation:

The error in the sentence is a spelling mistake: "past" is incorrectly used instead of the correct verb "passed" (meaning to transmit or hand down). This matches option B, as it is a typo/word choice error. The other options are irrelevant: the sentence does not need quoting or citation, and while it expresses an observation, the core issue is the typo.

Answer:

B. The sentence contains a typo.
