He needs not have shouted at me that way.
(1) at me that way.
(2) not have shouted
(3) He needs
(4) No Error
Option 1: 1
Option 2: 2
Option 3: 3
Option 4: 4
Correct Answer: 3
Solution : The correct choice is the third option.
Explanation: The correct usage should be "He need not have shouted at me that way", as modals are used in the base form in the present tense. The modal verb "need" is used in the negative form, i.e., "need not", to indicate that something is not necessary. In this case, the phrase "he needs not" is not the standard or idiomatic way of expressing this idea.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: He need not have shouted at me that way.
