Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDF- The primary issue in the sentence is the inconsistency in verb tense.
- The phrase "It was possible" is in the past tense, while the phrase "if one has" is in the present tense.
- For the sentence to be grammatically correct, the tenses should be consistent.
- Thus, the error is located in part A of the sentence.
- B: "if one has the grit and determination" – This part of the sentence is grammatically correct and does not require any changes.
- C: "to keep going." – This part of the sentence is grammatically correct and does not require any changes.
- No error – This would be the correct option if there were no mistakes in the sentence, but there is an error in part A.
