The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
“Mrs. Pooja is / very busy at / the moment.” / “All right. I had been waiting.”
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. “All right. I had been waiting.”
- The segment "All right. I had been waiting." is the one that contains the grammatical error.
- The correct form should be either "All right. I have been waiting." or "All right. I was waiting."
- The phrase "had been waiting" is inappropriate in this context as it suggests a past perfect continuous tense, which doesn't fit well with the simple and immediate response "All right."
