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 contextual error. Identify the part that contains the error. If there is no error, choose option (e). If the generals had planned the campaign more cautiously (a),/they would face far fewer setbacks today (b),/ especially in regions where supply lines are fragile (c),/ and morale remains uncertain among troops (d)./ No error (e)Solution
Explanation: This is a mixed conditional sentence. The sentence in the question, however, mixes two different timeframes: Past Condition: "If the generals had planned..." (Past Perfect) Present Result: "...they would face far fewer setbacks today." (Would + Base Verb) Because the hypothetical past action (planning) is affecting the present moment ("today"), we have to use the "would + base verb" structure for the result, which is borrowed from the 2nd conditional.
