EnglishSpotting Errors
- AHe is representing
- Bmy constituency
- Cfor the last five years.
- DNo error.
Explanation
The error lies in part (a). With the duration phrase ‘for the last five years’, the present perfect continuous is required: ‘has been representing’. The present continuous ‘is representing’ describes only a currently ongoing action and cannot carry the five-year duration. Hence the error is in (a).
