Have taken permission, Shivam went horse riding.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Having taken permission.
- The underlined segment is erroneous.
- When two tasks are done simultaneously by the same subject or one task follows immediately after the second task, the present participle is used for the first work.
- The structure of the phrase is: "Having + V3"
- Hence, the underlined segment should be replaced with "having taken permission".
- The correct sentence will be: Having taken permission, Shivam went horse riding.
