The following sentence has been divided into three segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error. If you don’t find any error, select ‘No error’ as your answer.
It was possible to achieve anything, / if one has the grit and determination / to keep going.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. It was possible to achieve anything.
The error is in "It was possible to achieve" because the sentence expresses a general truth or an ongoing possibility, which requires the present tense.
The use of was (past tense) implies that it is no longer possible or relevant, which doesn't fit the context.
Changing it to "It is possible to achieve" keeps the sentence in the present tense, matching the general nature of the statement and indicating that the possibility is still valid.
