    Question

    The following sentence has been divided into parts. One of them may contain an error. Select the part that contains the error.
    In the future, humans had colonise Mars / and establish a thriving civilisation / on the red planet.

    A.

    No error

    B.

    In the future, humans had colonise Mars

    C.

    and establish a thriving civilisation

    D.

    on the red planet

    Correct option is B

    The error is in "In the future, humans had colonise Mars."
    Explanation:
    · "In the future" refers to a future action, so "had" (past perfect) is incorrect.
    · The correct verb form should be "will colonise" instead of "had colonise".
    Correct Sentence:
    In the future, humans will colonise Mars and establish a thriving civilisation on the red planet.
    Grammatical Rule:
    · Use "will" (future tense) for actions expected to happen in the future.
    · "Had" is used in past perfect tense, which is incorrect here.
    Incorrect Options:
    · (c) and establish a thriving civilisation – No error.
    · (d) on the red planet – No error.
    Example:
    · In the future, scientists will develop new energy sources.
    · In the future, scientists had developed new energy sources.
