(c), No error(d)
- A(a)
- B(b)
- C(c)
- D(d)
Explanation
The modal perfect continuous “must have been doing” correctly expresses a deduction about an ongoing action in the past (the car speeding when it passed). “A hundred miles an hour” is the idiomatic expression of speed. The relative clause “which went past us” and the time clause “when we were driving on the highway” are both grammatical. Hence there is no error, option (D).
