Solution
The correct option is B (B)
There is an error in part B of the sentence. 'You must thought' is grammatically incorrect and incomplete, the correct usage is 'you must have thought'. 'Must have' expresses an opinion about an earlier (past) situation. Hence option B is the correct answer. Options A, C and D are incorrect because there are no other errors in the sentence. Option E is incorrect because the entire sentence does have one error.
