New: SSC Stenographer Application Form 2024 Released
Don't Miss: Month-wise current affairs
Suggested: Upcoming government exams
Correct Answer: (1)
Solution : The error lies in the first part of the sentence.
The error is in the verb tense, and it should be changed from
has been watching
to
has watched
.
The present perfect continuous tense "has been watching" is not appropriate when referring to a specific number of times an action has occurred. Instead, the present perfect tense should be used in this context.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: Ahmed has watched the Oscar nominated film three times.
