Read each sentence to find out whether there is any error in any underlined part and indicate your response in 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) Emperor Ashoka B) have conquered Kalinga
C) before he embraced Buddhism. D) No error
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) have conquered Kalinga

Explanation:

Error is in second part. Replace ‘have’ with ‘had’. Since two events are mentioned and both occurred in the past, the even that happened first will be expressed in past perfect tense. Hence ‘had conquered’ is the correct form.
