Question
In the following question, a sentence is divided into
four parts 1, 2, 3, and 4 in which two of the parts have some grammatical or contextual errors in them. You have to identify which pair among the given alternatives represents the parts that contain those errors. If none of the part has any error, then, mark option 5, i.e., ‘No error’ as your answer. The structure, which had been served as the headquarters (A)/ of the Danish postal service for more (B)/ than 100 years, was in 2020 opened as a (C)/ 390-room luxury hotel — one that paid homage for its past. (D )Solution
In part A: The past perfect passive structure (had been + past participle) is used when something is acted upon by an external force. However, in this sentence, the structure itself performed the action of serving as the headquarters. Since "serve as" means "to function as," there is no external action being performed on the subject. "Serve as" is an idiomatic expression that means "to act in the capacity of" or "to fulfill a role." This phrase is always used in the active voice. In part D: The incorrect preposition "for" is used after "homage." The correct phrase is "pay homage to", not "pay homage for." "Homage" means respect or tribute, and it is always paid to someone or something, not "for" something. Hence ,the correct phrase is- "paid homage to its past."
