    Question

    The sentence below has been divided into three parts. Select the part of the sentence that has an error.
    He has been read through/ the archives to research/ his article on the town's history.

    A.

    No error

    B.

    his article on the town's history.

    C.

    the archives to research

    D.

    He has been read through

    Correct option is D

    Option (d) contains an error.
    Explanation: The use of "has been read through" is incorrect because it suggests a passive structure, whereas the subject "He" is performing the action.
    · The correct form is: "He has been reading through the archives..." or "He has read through the archives..."
    · "Read" is the verb here, and it should be used actively.
    ·
    Grammatical rule used: Use active voice with present perfect or present perfect continuous when the subject is the doer of the action.
    Example: She has been writing reports all day.
    �� Information Booster: Avoid passive voice when the subject performs the action and the focus is on the process.
