    Question

    Read the sentence to find out whether there is any grammatical or idiomatic error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. The corresponding letter of that part is the answer. If the given sentence is correct as it is, then choose option ‘No error’ as the answer response. (Ignore errors of punctuation, if any).

    A

    B.

    B

    C.

    C

    D.

    D

    E.

    No error

    Correct option is D

    Correct Answer: (d) D
    Explanation:
    The sentence reads:
    "The CEO announced his resignation after an internal investigation exposes financial misconduct."
    · The error lies in part D, where the verb "exposes" is in the present tense.
    · Since the sentence describes a past event (the CEO's resignation was announced), the verb in D should match the past tense. The correct form is "exposed" instead of "exposes."
    Corrected Sentence:
    "The CEO announced his resignation after an internal investigation exposed financial misconduct."
    Why the other options are incorrect:
    · (a) A: No error; "The CEO announced" is correct.
    · (b) B: No error; "his resignation after" is grammatically correct.
    · (c) C: No error; "an internal investigation" is correct.
    Thus, the error is in D.
