Correct Answer: (3)


Solution : The error lies in the third part of the sentence.

The error arises from an inappropriate tag question, "isn't it?" which is unsuitable for a positive statement. The correct tag question, "haven't you?" aligns with the positive statement's present perfect continuous tense, indicating an action started in the past, continues into the present, and is likely to continue into the future.

So, the correct sentence should be: "You have been working very hard for the past two years, haven't you? "
