      (d) and (e). One of these parts may contain an error. Identify the part that contains the error. If there is no error, choose option (e). Having completed the financial report (a) / the sudden audit notice (b) / created considerable anxiety (c) / among the accounting staff (d). / No error (e)
      A a Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B b Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C c Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D d Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E e Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      The sentence contains a dangling participle. Opening phrase: Having completed the financial report This phrase must logically refer to a person, not the audit notice. Incorrect structure: Having completed the financial report, the audit notice created anxiety Correct structure: Having completed the financial report, the accountants received a sudden audit notice. Thus the error is in part (b).
