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.
