Select the option that will improve the underlined part of the given sentence. In case no improvement is needed, select 'No improvement required'.
 Krishna never find a friend like Sudama again.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. never found a friend.

 

Error Concept: Verb tense inconsistency

What is wrong: “find” is in present tense, but the sentence is referencing a past event.

Grammar Concept: Past time reference should use the past tense of the verb

Incorrectness in context: “Find” should be replaced with “found” to maintain proper past tense.

Corrected phrase: never found a friend
Final sentence: Krishna never found a friend like Sudama again.

Hence, the chosen option is correct.
