grammatical error.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. but he bring.

  • The third part of the given sentence is erroneous in nature.
  • Since the given sentence is in the simple past tense so the verb must be used in its simple past form (brought) and not in the present form (bring).

The correct sentence is:

My guide was blind but he brought me home safely.
