Correct Answer: voice was


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

Explanation : The error in the original sentence is in tense inconsistency. The verb "has" implies present perfect tense, while the context of the sentence calls for the past tense. So, the verb "has" should be changed to "was" to ensure the correct past tense usage.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "After the concert, his voice was hoarse from cheering."
