Correct Answer: have retired
Solution : The error lies in the second option.
The error lies in the subject-verb agreement. In this case, the subject Mr. Das is singular, but the verb have is plural. The correct form should be (has retired) to ensure agreement between the singular subject and the singular verb.
Therefore, the correct sentence is, "Mr. Das, my friend, and principal of this college, has retired".
