Question
In the following questions, a part of the sentence may
contain an error. Identify the part that contains the error. If the sentence is grammatically correct, choose the option corresponding to “No error”. The captain was really upset / because of the lopsided way in which his team / has performed in the last few matches and / decided to give some tough love to his teammates.Solution
The error is related to tense consistency. The sentence begins in the past tense: → “The captain was really upset…” Therefore, the later action should also align with past narration. Incorrect: → “his team has performed” Correct: → “his team had performed” OR → “his team performed” Since the sentence refers to matches before the captain’s reaction, past perfect is more appropriate: → “had performed in the last few matches…” Why other parts are correct: (a) grammatically correct (b) structurally proper descriptive phrase (d) correct infinitive structure after “decided” Hence, option (c)
