Question

    Read each sentence to find out whether there is any error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. Mark the part with the error as your answer. If there is no error, mark "No Error" as your answer. (Ignore the errors of punctuation, if any).

    A A Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B B Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C C Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E E Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    There is a verb-tense agreement error. We need to replace the verb ‘is’ with ‘was’. The verb that precedes - (claimed) is in past tense, therefore the helping verb also needs to be in the past tense.
