In the given sentence, identify the segment which contains the grammatical error.
A Delhi bound aircraft has to make an emergency landing at Mumbai airport as a woman passenger suddenly developed a serious breathing problem.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. has to make.
- The error lies in part 2 of the statement because of the wrong use of "From of the verb".
- We need to replace "To make" with "Made" for making the statement grammatically correct.
Grammatical concept:-
- As the second part of the statement is in the simple past tense we need to keep the first part in the present perfect tense.
- Past perfect tense >>>>> Past tense >>>>> Present perfect tense.
- We need to maintain the sequence of the tense according to the above rule.
- Only two consecutive tenses can occur together.
- In the given first action is in "Past tense" hence, the next action will occur in "Present perfect tense".
- So, we need to keep the second action "emergency landing" in the present perfect tense.
- Hence, the chosen option is correct.
Correct Sentence:-
A Delhi bound aircraft has made an emergency landing at Mumbai airport as a woman passenger suddenly developed a serious breathing problem.
