Question

The following sentence has not been edited. There is one error in the line. Pick the option that has the incorrect word and its correction.

When Vijay entered the cinema hall, the film had start.

• A. Incorrect = start, Correct = started
• B. Incorrect= entered, Correct= enter
• C. Incorrect= had, Correct= had been
• D. Incorrect= the, Correct= a

Answer 1

The correct option is A Incorrect = start, Correct = started

Here, the word 'entered' indicates that the sentence is in the past tense. So, the entire sentence should maintain the past tense. However, the word 'start' is in the present tense so, it should be changed to its past participle form, 'started'. Hence, the most appropriate answer is option A) incorrect= start, correct= started. The other options do not make grammatically correct sentences.
