Correct option is D
Option (d) contains an error.
Explanation of error:
The verb “criticises” is in the present tense, but the sentence is clearly set in the past tense, indicated by “wrote” and “last week’s.”
Therefore, the correct form should be “criticised.”
Grammatical rule used:
Tenses must be consistent throughout a sentence unless there is a valid reason to shift. When narrating or describing something from the past, all verbs should follow the past tense pattern.
Example:
She wrote a report and praises the staff.
She wrote a report and praised the staff.
�� Information booster:
Watch out for tense shifting errors in formal writing. If the sentence begins in past tense (especially when referring to specific past events), maintain that throughout unless a general truth or habitual action is being mentioned.
