English ( Master) Preposition

While speaking to (A) / the students, the motivational speaker (B) / advised them not to (C) / brood under failures. (D) / No Error (E)

“Brood” means 'to think deeply about something that makes one unhappy, angry, or worried”

The word ‘brood’ always takes the preposition ‘over’ after it.

So, the use of ‘under’ in the given sentence is erroneous.

Correct Sentence:

While speaking to the students, the motivational speaker advised them not to brood over failures.

Hence, option D is the correct answer.
