Understand the Problem
The question is an English grammar question. It presents a sentence divided into parts (A, B, C, and D) and asks to identify if there's an error in any of the parts. If the sentence is correct, the answer is (E) No error.
Answer
The error is in part (B), replace 'had' with 'has'.
The error is in part (B). It should be 'has' instead of 'had'. The corrected sentence is: "With a view to address the issue of fuel shortage in the country, the government has imposed special additional excise duty on export of petrol and diesel."
Answer for screen readers
The error is in part (B). It should be 'has' instead of 'had'. The corrected sentence is: "With a view to address the issue of fuel shortage in the country, the government has imposed special additional excise duty on export of petrol and diesel."
More Information
The use of "has" indicates that the action of imposing the duty is more recent or ongoing, whereas "had" would imply it happened further in the past and may no longer be in effect.
Tips
The most common mistake is overlooking the correct tense. Always read the sentence carefully.
