Correct Answer: (2)


Solution : The error is in the second part of the sentence.

The use of "renovate" in the present tense is incorrect in this context. When expressing an action that should have been done in the past, one should use the past tense, "renovated".

"It's high time" + past subjunctive expresses that something should have been done but it is already a bit late.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "It is high time we renovated our old house."
