In the following question, some part of the sentence may have errors. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and select the appropriate option. If a sentence is free from error, select 'No Error'.
He said that it was the first time that such a trick is discovered.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3, i.e. is discovered.
- Using 'is' becomes incorrect as the sentence in it's former part tries to imply it's sense in the past tense by using 'was'. So, the correct form would be to use 'was discovered' because the entire tense-form of the sentence becomes similar and hence accurate.
