Question

Which of the following sentences contains at least one error? a. We are basing this year’s projections on last year’s sales. b. Last year, the company rents a warehouse to store excess production. c. The warehouse was located near the production facility, which was very convenient. d. All new projects are halted until the company can afford expansion.

Answer 1

The sentence with an error is b. 'Last year, the company rents a warehouse to store excess production,' where 'rents' should be in the past tense 'rented'.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentence that contains at least one error is option b: Last year, the company rents a warehouse to store excess production. The error in this sentence is a mismatch in tense. The phrase 'last year' suggests that the action happened in the past, so the past tense 'rented' should be used instead of the present tense 'rents'. The correct sentence should be: Last year, the company rented a warehouse to store excess production.
