They laughed at his warnings (1)/ and objected (2)/ to all his proposals (3)/ No Error (4)
The answer is option (4) i.e. No Error because the sentence seems grammatically correct.
Which of the following words/phrases given below in the statement should replace the phrase printed in bold in the sentence to make it grammatically correct?
We were not able to stay overnight at the hotel since we have not reserved a room in advance.
The above statement is in the past perfect tense. A past perfect tense indicates an action that was completed at some point in the past before something else happened.
Similarly, the above statement expresses that they planned to stay overnight at the hotel but they could not since they did not have a room reserved in advance.
The past perfect tense helps us in differentiating between two events that both happened in the past. The phrase 'has not' is used for a present perfect tense and the phrase 'will not' is used for expressing something in the future.
Thus, option 1, i.e. had not is the correct answer as it perfectly describes the past perfect tense.
