Question : Directions: In the following question, some parts of the sentence may have some errors. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and select the appropriate option. If the sentence is free from error, select "No error".
She was shocked when (1) / she heard the news (2) / that he was died. (3) / No error (4)
Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (3)
Solution : The error lies in the third part of the sentence.
We need to change the simple past tense "he died" to the past perfect tense "he had died" in the subordinate clause as the event of death occurred before she heard the news.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "She was shocked when she heard the news that he had died."
