Three segments of the following sentence have been given as options. One of them may contain an error. Select the option that contains the error. If you don’t find any error, mark ‘No error’ as your answer.

Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. he was reluctant.
The correct sentence should maintain consistent tense. Since the first part of the sentence uses the present perfect tense "has not yet completed," the second part should use the present tense "is" instead of the past tense "was".
Therefore, the correct form of the verb should be 'is' instead of 'was'.
Hence, the correct statement is: Since his son has not yet completed the age of eighteen, he is reluctant to fulfil his son’s demand of getting a motorbike.
