Question
Read each sentence carefully to find out whether there
is any grammatical or idiomatic error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence marked (a), (b), (c) or (d). Choose the option corresponding to that part. If the sentence is correct as it is, choose “No error (e)” as your answer. Ignore errors of punctuation, if any. The committee debated whether the proposal (a) was financially viable (b) and if it aligns with the long-term objectives (c) outlined in the strategic framework (d). No error (e)Solution
This sentence suffers from tense inconsistency in parallel clauses. The verb “was” (past tense) in the first clause is paired with “aligns” (present tense) in the second clause, even though both clauses depend on the same past reporting verb “debated.” For grammatical consistency, both verbs should be in the past tense. The correct form would be “and if it aligned with the long-term objectives.”  Therefore, part (c) contains the error.
