    Question

    The following sentence has been divided into parts. One of them may contain an error.
    She managed the company / so well that it is made / a huge profit that year.

    A.

    a huge profit that year

    B.

    so well that it is made

    C.

    She managed the company

    D.

    No error

    Correct option is B

    Explanation:
    The error is in the tense usage in the phrase: “it is made”.
    · The main clause is in past tense: “She managed the company”
    · Therefore, the result clause should also be in past tense, not present.
    Incorrect:
    · “it is made” – Present tense (is) with past context is incorrect.
    Correct:
    · “it made” – Simple past, consistent with the rest of the sentence.
    Grammar Rule:
    When two actions happen in the past and one is the result of the other, both should use past tense.
    Example:
    · Incorrect: He worked hard and wins the prize.
    · Correct: He worked hard and won the prize.
    Corrected Sentence:
    She managed the company so well that it made a huge profit that year.
    This correction ensures tense consistency throughout the sentence.
