Question : Directions: In the following question, out of the four alternatives, select the alternative that will improve the bracketed part of the sentence. In case no improvement is needed, select "No Improvement".
(Having had) in the USA Embassy for a long time, Mr. Gupta has met many prominent personalities
(1) He has been
(2) Having been
(3) Had he been
(4) No Improvement
Option 1: 1
Option 2: 2
Option 3: 3
Option 4: 4
Correct Answer: 2
Solution : The sentence can be improved using the second option.
The phrase having had should be replaced with having to convey the intended meaning that Mr. Gupta had met many prominent people on account of being in the USA Embassy for a long time.
He has been incorrect since it changes the structure of the sentence, and 'had he been' doesn't match with the tense of the sentence.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: " Having been in the USA Embassy for a long time, Mr. Gupta has met many prominent personalities."
