Q:

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).

C) before he embraced Buddhism. D) No error
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) have conquered Kalinga

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.

We are used to giving benefit of a doubt to people we are closest to, the ones who we know very well. This comes to us naturally as we know for a fact they are good people; and even more - we know they like/ love us so they wouldn't do anything against us.
