Question : Directions: In the following question, some parts of the sentence may have some errors. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and select the appropriate option. If the sentence is free from error, select "No Error."
He has read four plays (1) / written by Shakespeare (2) / by the end of his vacation. (3) / No Error (4)
Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (1)
Solution : The error lies in the first part of the sentence.
The use of "has read" is not correct because it doesn't match the past time frame indicated by "by the end of his vacation". To denote a job or work completed, the simple past tense should be used.
Therefore, the correct sentence is "He read four plays written by Shakespeare by the end of his vacation".
