✅ Correct Option: 2
The incorrect usage is found in option 2. The word 'climatic' is incorrectly used; it relates to climate, not to the climax or most significant point of an event. The correct word should be 'climactic,' which refers to the most exciting and important part of a story or series of events. The correct sentence should read: 'The climactic moment of the match was when the captain got caught behind the wicket.' Students might get confused between 'climatic,' which is related to climate, and 'climactic,' which is related to the term climax.
