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.
