    Question:

    Find the mistake: Although at that time my knowledge of German was very poor, I was understood most of what they said.


    • A.
      my knowledge of

    • B.
      was

    • C.
      most of

    • D.
      said

    Reference explanation:

    Correct answer: GET

    The answer is NO

    Translation: Although at that time my knowledge of German was very poor, but I still understood most of what they said.

    => Based on the grammatical structure, we see that B is wrong. Because if I use “was” the sentence will have a passive meaning while the sentence is only an active sentence- I can “understand most of what they say” but not “understand everything they say!”

    Edit: was => quit
