New: SSC Stenographer Application Form 2024 Released
Don't Miss: Month-wise current affairs
Suggested: Upcoming government exams
Correct Answer: she has given
Solution : The correct choice is the second option.
The error lies in the verb tense. The phrase last week suggests a past action. To maintain consistency in the timeline, it is more appropriate to use the simple past tense. Thus, had given should be replaced with gave to maintain tense consistency and make the sentence grammatically accurate.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: She gave me a book last week which I returned.
