Question

The sentence below has been divided into three parts. Select the part of the sentence that has an error. If the sentence has no error, select the option 'No Error'.
She decided to take a break/ from work, while she needed/ some time to recharge and rejuvenate.

A.

No error

B.

She decided to take a break

C.

some time to recharge and rejuvenate.

D.

from work, while she needed

Correct option is D

Option (d) contains an error.
The error lies in the incorrect usage of the conjunction “while” with the simple past tense “needed.”
· The clause “while she needed some time” is grammatically awkward and not idiomatic.
· The sentence aims to express the reason for her taking a break, and the conjunction “as” or “because” should be used instead.
Correct sentence: She decided to take a break from work because she needed some time to recharge and rejuvenate.
Grammatical rule used:
✅ Use “because/as/since” when providing reasons or causes instead of “while,” which is generally used for simultaneous actions or time references.
Example:
· Incorrect: I stayed home while I was tired.
· Correct: I stayed home because I was tired.
�� Information Booster:
The word “while” can mean both “at the same time” or “although,” but not usually “because.”
