Correct Answer: Having taken permission


Solution : The correct choice is the third option .

Explanation : In the original sentence, "have taken permission" is a present perfect verb form. However, when using the present perfect tense in this context, it typically implies an ongoing state rather than a completed action just before another action.

In the revised version, "having taken permission" is a participial phrase that acts as an adverbial clause. It indicates that taking permission happened before the main action of going horse riding.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "Having taken permission , Shivam went horse riding."
