Question : The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
Usually, Ratheesh hasn't / take part in these types / of events because of / his hectic schedule.
Option 1: take part in these types
Option 2: of events because of
Option 3: his hectic schedule
Option 4: Usually, Ratheesh hasn’t
Correct Answer: Usually, Ratheesh hasn’t
Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.
Explanation
: Here,
usually, Ratheesh doesn't
should be used instead of
usually, Ratheesh hasn't.
The word "hasn't" is a contraction of "has not", which is present perfect tense. However, in the sentence, we need to use the simple present tense because the sentence is talking about Ratheesh's usual behaviour. The verb "doesn't" is the contracted form of "does not", which is the correct verb form to use in this sentence.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: " Usually, Ratheesh doesn't take part in these types of events because of his hectic schedule."
