Question : Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error. If there is no error, select 'No Error'.
'He wants something done, / and it has not happen / fast enough,' he said.
Option 1: No Error
Option 2: He wants something done
Option 3: fast enough,' he said.
Option 4: and it has not happen
Correct Answer: and it has not happen
Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.
Explanation:
The error lies in the use of the verb happen. In the sentence, happen should be in its past participle form, which is happened, to form the correct present perfect tense with the auxiliary verb has . The sentence requires the past participle form to indicate an action that did not occur in the past, so happened is the appropriate choice.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: 'He wants something done, and it has not happened fast enough,' he said.
