Correct Answer: (1)


Solution : The error lies in the first part of the sentence.

Explanation : The phrase did not receive should be replaced with have not received . "Did not" is used to negate actions or events in the past, while "have not" is used to indicate that something has not happened or been completed up to the present time. The correct way is to use the present perfect tense.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "I have not received any letter from my parents for the last two months."
