Correct Answer: after you finished


Solution : The segment that contains an error is the first option.

Explanation: In this sentence, there is a mismatch between "have you decided" (present perfect) and "after you finished" (simple past). When using the present perfect tense in the first part of the sentence, the subsequent clause referring to the future should use the base form of the verb. Hence, the correct form should be "after you finish" to maintain consistency and the proper sequence of tenses.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: Have you decided which university you want to join after you finish school?
