Correct option is B
The correct substitution of the highlighted words is (b)
yet she decided to go to work.
Explanation:
· The main clause uses
past tense (“was not feeling”). For tense consistency in a single past-time narrative, the coordinated clause should also be in the
past simple (“
decided”), not base form “decide” or present perfect “have decided”.
· The coordinator
yet correctly expresses
contrast (“not feeling well” vs “still went”).
· The phrase is
go to work (destination), not “go for work,” which is non-idiomatic in this context.
Grammatical rule used:
·
Sequence of Tenses / Tense Consistency: When describing events in the past within the same time frame, maintain the
simple past.
·
Coordinating conjunctions:
yet links two contrasting clauses of equal rank; each clause must be grammatically complete and tense-consistent.
Example:
“Rahul felt tired,
yet he finished the assignment before midnight.”
Information booster / exceptions:
· Present perfect (
has/have decided) is used for past actions with
present relevance, not for a closed past narrative with a definite time frame.
·
Go to work = go to the workplace;
go for work can mean “go out in search of work,” which changes the meaning and isn’t appropriate here.
