Identify the incorrect sentence.
Injured were taken to the hospital.
The task is to spot the sentence that contains a grammatical error.
Look at option 1: "Injured were taken to the hospital." The word "injured" is an adjective being used as a noun to mean the group of people who were hurt.
When an adjective refers to a whole class or group of people (injured, poor, rich, blind, deaf), English requires the definite article "the" before it.
So the grammatically correct form is "The injured were taken to the hospital." Omitting "the" makes the sentence incorrect.
Option 2 is correct: a reflexive pronoun "itself" properly refers back to "the baby".
Option 3 is a correct interrogative sentence using the possessive "Whose".
Option 4 is a correct sentence with proper subject-verb agreement and tense.
Since option 1 alone is faulty, it is the incorrect sentence being asked for.
Hence, the correct answer is Injured were taken to the hospital.
