The given sentence is divided into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
When I returned to the office, / no work was left / as my friend Rahul / has done everything.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. has done everything.
The error is in the phrase: 'has done everything.'
'Has done' (present perfect tense) is incorrect because the sentence refers to a past action.
The correct tense should be past perfect ('had done') to indicate that Rahul completed the work before the speaker returned.
The past perfect tense ('had done') is used to show that one past action (Rahul finishing the work) happened before another past action (the speaker returning to the office).
Hence, the correct answer is:- 'When I returned to the office, no work was left as my friend Rahul had done everything.'
