Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. leaving.

  1. The error lies in option 4 because of the wrong use of "Infinitive".
  2. We need to replace "Leaving" with "To leave" for making the statement grammatically correct.

Grammatical concept:- 

  • "Leaving" is the second verb in the given statement hence, we need to use "Infinite" form of this verb.
  • The chosen option contains the Grammatical Error hence, it will be the correct choice.

Correct Sentence:-

May I have your permission to leave the office a little early today?
