Question : Parts of the following sentence have been given as options. One of them may contain an error. Select the part that contains the error from the given options. If you don’t find any error, mark ‘No error’ as your answer.
Anant was telling a story about his most recent exploits when a tree branch break the living room window.
Option 1: about his most recent exploits
Option 2: when a tree branch break the living room window
Option 3: Anant was telling a story
Option 4: No error
Correct Answer: when a tree branch break the living room window
Solution : The error lies in the second option.
The error is in the verb-tense agreement. The correct form should be "when a tree branch broke the living room window." The verb "break" needs to be in the past tense to match the past tense of the action described in the sentence (Anant was telling a story about his most recent exploits).
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: Anant was telling a story about his most recent exploits when a tree branch broke the living room window.
