Question

The following sentence has been divided into parts. 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.
The fight of the cobra and the mongoose / is a classic drama often seen in India, / and
the outcome was largely the same.

A.

The fight of the cobra and the mongoose

B.

No error

C.

is a classic drama often seen in India

D.

and the outcome was largely the same

Correct option is D

The error is in part (d). The rest of the sentence is in the present tense ("is a classic drama often seen"), so the verb in the clause "and the outcome was largely the same" should also be in the present tense to maintain consistency.
· The correct phrase should be "and the outcome is largely the same." The corrected sentence is: "The fight of the cobra and the mongoose is a classic drama often seen in India, and the outcome is largely the same." This ensures that the tense is consistent throughout the sentence.
