Which of the phrases (A), (B), (C), and (D) given below should replace the phrase given in ‘’bold’’ in the following sentence to make the sentence grammatically correct. If the sentence is correct as it is and no correction is required, mark (E) as the answer.
The honourable court had taken a lenient view because the accused ‘’have not previous conviction’’.
The original sentence is wrong because of the use of have when the sentence has already been constructed in past perfect tense. Use of previously is wrong because an adverb needs a verb to modify. To correct this error, the sentence correction should be in past perfect progressive tense 'had not been previously convicted'. Option A correctly removes all error by using an adjective previous modifying conviction. A is the right answer.
