Question

The company, Maruti Suzuki, (A) / has been producing ten million (B) / units since it was (C) / established in 1982 (D).

Identify the part of the sentence that contains an error.

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The sentence is: "The company, Maruti Suzuki, has been producing ten million units since it was established in 1982."

2. The phrase "has been producing" is in the present perfect continuous tense, which is used to describe an action that started in the past and is still continuing.

3. However, the phrase "since it was established in 1982" indicates a completed time frame from the past to now, and the emphasis is on the total number of units produced (a completed action/result), not on the ongoing process.

4. Therefore, the correct tense to use here is the present perfect tense "has produced" which shows the total quantity produced up to now.

5. Hence, the error lies in part (B), and "has been producing" should be replaced with "has produced".

**Answer:** (b) (B)
