The following sentence has been divided into four segments. Identify the segment that contains an error.

How long are you working / for your current employer / and why don’t you / look for better opportunities?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. How long are you working.

The phrase "How long are you working" should be "How long have you been working".

The sentence is asking about the duration of an action that started in the past and continues to the present. For such situations, present perfect continuous tense is used (i.e., "have been working").

Hence, the correct sentence is:- "How long have you been working for your current employer, and why don’t you look for better opportunities?"
