Suggested: Upcoming government exams
Correct Answer: that has been published
Solution : The error lies in the second option.
Explanation: The error lies in the inconsistency of verb tense agreement between "has been published" and the earlier part of the sentence. "This is one of the best books" refers to the present time, yet "has been published" is in the present perfect tense, which suggests a completed action in the past. To maintain tense consistency, it should be in the present tense.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: This is one of the best books published this year.
