Question
Which of the following can replace the emboldened part
to make it grammatically correct? Also, identify the part which has an error, if any in the remaining portion of the sentence. He is seen smiling at the baby girl sitting on his lap (A)/ and penchant for using English words that are rarely used, (B)/ had shared a photo with an infant girl (C)/ on a flight Tuesday and (D)/ it is winning hearts online. (E)Solution
Part C of the given sentence has an error. Part D mentions that the photo was taken on Tuesday. We cannot use past perfect tense when an action was taken place at a definite time. Here, a simple past tense will be the correct choice. Therefore, 'had shared' should be replaced with 'shared'. Between options (c) and (e), (e) is the most appropriate choice. 'And' is a coordinating conjunction. It is used to join two or more clauses of equal importance or rank. The statement in option (e) talks about his vocabulary and part B talks about his usage of rare words. Both of the statements are closely related. The statement in option (c) doesn't fit properly in the given sentence.
