Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is: When Mrs. Sinha came to see Varanasi in 2019, Nupur has already been teaching there for five years.
Key Points
- The sentence should use the past perfect tense "had been teaching" instead of "has already been teaching" because the action of teaching started in the past and continued up to another point in the past, which is Mrs. Sinha's visit to Varanasi in 2019.
Therefore, the sentence with the corrected tense should read: "When Mrs. Sinha came to see Varanasi in 2019, Nupur had already been teaching there for five years."
Additional Information
- The given options all misuse the present perfect tense "has already been teaching," which is inappropriate for describing an action that was completed in the past relative to another past action.
- Example of correct usage: When the student arrived late, the professor had already started the lecture.
