Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDF- The phrase 'returned back' is redundant. The verb 'return' already means 'to go back' so the additional 'back' is unnecessary.
- The verb 'returned' should be replaced with a verb that indicates the arrival of a person to a place at a particular time. 'Reached' fits this context appropriately.
- Thus 'reached' correctly replaces 'returned back'.
- 'Showed' and 'appeared' do not convey the intended meaning that he arrived at Cambridge.
