Question

Following question has a sentence with three underlined parts labelled (a), (b) and (c). Read the sentence to find out whether there is any error in any underlined part. If you find no error, your response should be indicated as (d).
The politician lost face in his constituency(a) when he broke the pre-election promises(b) he made to his people.(c) No error.(d)

• A. a
• B. b
• C. c
• D. d

Answer 1

The correct option is C c

Option C is the correct answer because there is a mistake in part c of the sentence. It should be in the past perfect tense; 'he had made to his people'. We use past perfect to talk about something that happened before another action in the past, which is usually expressed by the past simple ('lost face').

Options A, B and D are incorrect answers to the given question because there are no errors in these parts.
