out of fear that I might lose my tooth

Answer is Wrong!
Answer is Right!
The correct answer is: D. No error
The sentence is grammatically correct. The word “stopped” is used correctly to indicate that the aching stopped. The phrase “out of fear that I might lose my tooth” is a subordinate clause that provides a reason for the aching stopping.
The sentence could be improved by adding more detail. For example, the
writer could say “When the dentist came in, my tooth stopped aching because I was no longer afraid that I might lose it.”
