SPOT THE ERRORI am unable to forgive a man who fails to return a book he took from my shelf
Correct answer: D. took
- A. unable
- B. a man
- C. fails
- D. took
Explanation
Replace "took" with "has taken".The original sentence is incorrect because it uses the past tense "took" instead of the present perfect "has taken" when referring to an action that is relevant to the present (the book has not been returned yet).
