Question : Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error. If there is no error, select 'No Error'.
The Gryffindors trooped back up / to the castle, none of them talking; / it have been another long day.
Option 1: No Error
Option 2: The Gryffindors trooped back up
Option 3: It have been another long day
Option 4: To the castle, none of them talking
Correct Answer: It have been another long day
Solution : The correct choice is the third option.
The error lies in the use of the present tense "have" instead of the past tense "had". The correct sentence should convey that it "had been" another long day, indicating the past tense. This maintains the proper tense structure throughout the whole sentence.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "The Gryffindors trooped back up to the castle, none of them talking; it had been another long day ."
