Question

Parts of the following sentence have been given as options. One of them may contain an error. Select the part that contains the error from the given options. If you don’t find any error, mark ‘No error’ as your answer.
I have never played a hero before, so I jump at the chance.

A.

No error

B.

I have never played

C.

So I jump at the chance

D.

a hero before

Correct option is C

The segment that contains the error is “So I jump at the chance.”
Error identification: The verb "jump" is in the present tense, but the rest of the sentence is in the past tense ("I have never played"). The verb should be in the past tense to maintain consistency.
Grammatical Rule used: Tense consistency is required within a sentence. If the main verb is in the past tense, the subsequent verbs should also be in the past tense.
Corrected sentence: I have never played a hero before, so I jumped at the chance.
