Easy

After many years of knowing one another, they eventually tied the knot.

The bags placed on the carrier were not securely tied, which led to an unfortunate accident.

I have a good chance of a promotion since my firm has recently tied up with a global conglomerate.

Correct Option: 2

The incorrect usage is found in option 2. The correct word should be 'tide,' which refers to the rise and fall of sea levels. The word 'tied' is incorrect as it refers to binding or fastening things together. Students might get confused because 'tide' and 'tied' are homophones, meaning they sound the same but have different meanings and spellings. The correct sentence should read: 'It was a full moon night and the tide was high, but he went boating and, unfortunately, he drowned.'
