Question
Each of the following sentences has been divided into
five parts (a), (b), (c), (d), and (e). One of these parts may contain a grammatical or idiomatic error. Identify the part that contains the error. If there is no error, choose option (e). Having been informed about the deadline well in advance (a), the delay in submission (b) cannot be justified (c) under any reasonable circumstances (d). No error (e)Solution
This is a dangling participle error. The introductory participial phrase “Having been informed about the deadline…” must logically refer to a person or group who received the information. However the subject of the sentence is “the delay”, which cannot be informed. This creates a dangling participle. Correct -- Having been informed about the deadline well in advance, the team cannot justify the delay in submission.
