Question
Read each sentence to find out whether there is any
grammatical 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 âNo errorâ as your answer (Ignore the errors of punctuation, if any). The issue became (1)/ so serious that Mr. Doval refrains (2)/ from accompanying (3)/ Prime Minister on an official visit .(4) no error (5)Solution
The verb "refrains" is incorrect in this context. Since the sentence describes something that happened in the past, we need to use the past tense of the verb. The correct verb should be "refrained" (past tense).
The sentence should read: "The issue became so serious that Mr. Doval refrained from accompanying Prime Minister on an official visit."
