Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: we entered into the room
Explanation:
Given data
Concept/Approach (verb complementation)The verb enter is transitive in standard English and does not normally take the preposition 'into' before its object. We say 'enter the room', not 'enter into the room' (unless used in the phrasal sense 'enter into an agreement').
Step-by-step correctionReplace B: 'we entered into the room' → 'we entered the room'.Corrected sentence: 'After opening the door, we entered the room next to the kitchen.'
Verification/AlternativeIf motion must be highlighted, use 'went into the room'; with 'enter', omit 'into'.
Common pitfallsOverusing 'into' after motion verbs that are already transitive (enter, approach).
Final AnswerB — 'we entered into the room' is erroneous; write 'we entered the room'.
