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.
I initially thought of including both the mother and the child, but the woman was reluctant to have their pictures take.
Option 1: both the mother and the child, but the woman
Option 2: was reluctant to have their pictures take
Option 3: I initially thought of including
Option 4: No error
Correct Answer: was reluctant to have their pictures take
Solution : The correct choice is the second option .
Explanation : The error lies in the usage of the verb form, as take should be replaced with taken to make the sentence grammatically accurate. The word "take" is a verb, whereas "taken" is the past participle form of the verb "take". In this context, the phrase "have their pictures" requires the past participle form to form the correct passive voice construction.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "I initially thought of including both the mother and the child, but the woman was reluctant to have their pictures taken."
