Which of the following phrases (I), (II), and (III) given below each sentence should replace the phrase printed in bold letters to make the sentence grammatically correct? Choose the best option among the five given alternatives that reflect the correct use of phrase in the context of the grammatically correct sentence. If the sentence is correct as it is, mark (e) i.e., “No correction required” as the answer.
Many centuries of European history have been marked by war almost ceaseless between France and England when these two states first confronted each other in America.
I. had been marked
II. has been marked
III. is being marked
The sentence is talking about an event from the past. Hence, ‘had’ should be used in place of ‘have’. Thus, I is correct. Both II and III are in present tense and hence can be ruled out easily. Hence, only I is correct replacement for the given phrase. Thus, option A is the correct answer.
