Question

The following sentence has been divided into parts. One of them may contain an error. Select the part that contains the error from the given options. If you don’t find any error, mark ‘No error’ as your answer. Alka had been writing / to her boss until she realises / that he was not interested in resolving her issues

• A. that he was not interested in resolving her issues
• B. No error
• C. to her boss until she realises
• D. Alka had been writing

Answer 1

Answer:

C. to her boss until she realises

• The error lies in the Tense Consistency of the sentence. The Problem: The sentence is set in the Past Tense, as indicated by the phrases "Alka had been writing" (Past Perfect Continuous) and "he was not interested" (Simple Past). The Correction: The verb "realises" is in the Simple Present tense. To maintain tense consistency throughout the sentence, it must be changed to the Simple Past form: "realised". Corrected Sentence: "Alka had been writing to her boss until she realised that he was not interested in resolving her issues."
