Question : Directions: In the following question, out of the four alternatives, select the alternative that will improve the bracketed part of the sentence. In case no improvement is needed, select "No Improvement".
I have not written any letter to her since my brother (had died)
(1) was died
(2) died
(3) has died
(4) No Improvement
Option 1: 1
Option 2: 2
Option 3: 3
Option 4: 4
Correct Answer: 2
Solution : The correct choice is the second option.
Explanation
: The phrase "had died" in the original sentence is incorrect because the past perfect tense is not needed in this context. The use of "died" in the past simple tense is appropriate for expressing that the action occurred in the past.
Since
is followed by the simple past tense, as it is used for a point in time in the past.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "I have not written any letter to her since my brother
died
."
