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.”
