Identify the part containing the error. If the sentence is correct, select ‘no error’ as your answer.
An ‘annoyed and upset’ Duvvuri Subbarao,/(1) the then governor of RBI, /(2) calling up the finance minister to say that /(3) he would not participate /(4) in the meeting.
The correct answer is option 3$.
The sentence describes an incident that happened in the past. This is clear from the context in which it appears in the paragraph. Also, the phrase 'the then governor of RBI' points to the fact that we are talking about a time when Mr. Subbarao was the governor of RBI.
Therefore, the word 'calling' is incorrect. The correct word would be 'called'.
The correct sentence will be 'An ‘annoyed and upset’ Duvvuri Subbarao, the then governor of RBI, called up the finance minister to say that he would not participate in the meeting'.
