Question

Select the part of the sentence that has an error. If the sentence is correct select "No Error".

Before entering the office he said that he is late. No error.
A B C D E

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. D
• E. E

Answer 1

The correct option is D D

Let’s examine the sentence: “Before entering the office he said that he is late.” If we see, the sentence uses the verb ‘said,’ which is of past tense. So, the verb coming after it should also be of past tense as both the parts of the sentence are talking about the same thing. Hence, the verb ‘is’ should be replaced by ‘was’ in the ‘he is late’ part of the sentence. So, the error is in Part D of the sentence. Hence, Option D is the correct answer.
