Each item in this section has a sentence with three underlined parts, labelled as (a), (b) and (c). Read each sentence to determine whether there is any error in any underlined part and indicate your response on the Answer Sheet against the corresponding letter, i.e., (a) or (b) or (c). If you find no error, your response should be indicated as (d).
(a) Although we reached his house on time (b) he was left (c) for the airport. (d) No error.
- A(a)
- B(b)
- C(c)
- D(d)
Explanation
The sentence describes two past events: the speaker's arrival and the person's earlier departure. The earlier of two past events must be in the past perfect tense, giving 'he had left for the airport'. The form 'was left' in (b) is both the wrong tense and passive in sense, which makes no meaning here. Thus part (b) contains the error.
