Grammar Quiz No.128

N1Verb Forms敬語の誤用: お〜する vs お〜になる

(誤りを選ぶ)お客様が資料を___。

Q. Which option is WRONG when describing a customer's action?

Translation

The customer read the materials.

Explanation

拝見する is a humble verb for one's own act of looking; applying it to the customer humbles them — a classic keigo inversion. The honorifics ご覧になる, お読みになる and 読まれる all correctly elevate the customer.
