    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.
    Vidya put on her mask, / sanitise her hands / and walked into the shop.

    A.

    and walked into the shop

    B.

    No error

    C.

    Vidya put on her mask

    D.

    sanitise her hands

    Correct option is D

    Option (d) contains an error.
    Explanation of Error:
    The verb “sanitise” is in the present tense, but the sentence is written in the past tense throughout.
    · The verbs “put on” and “walked” are both in the past tense.
    · So, to maintain tense consistency, “sanitise” should be in the past tense“sanitised”
    Grammatical Rule Used:
    When multiple verbs are used in a sentence that describes a sequence of past events, all verbs should be in the simple past tense.
    · Example: She opened the door, picked up the keys, and left.
    · Incorrect: She opened the door, pick up the keys, and left.
    Corrected Sentence:
    Vidya put on her mask, sanitised her hands, and walked into the shop.
    This correction ensures proper verb tense agreement across the sentence.
