      Question

      This question consists of a sentence which is divided

      into four parts numbered (1) to (4). Only one part of the sentence is not acceptable in standard written English. Identify that part which contains an error.
      A The farmers Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B will have left their fields Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C if they had known Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D that a thunderstorm was approaching Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      The error in this sentence is in part 3: "if they had known,". The issue here is the use of the past perfect tense ("had known") combined with the future perfect tense ("will have left"). This combination is inconsistent within the context of a conditional sentence.
