Answer:

The error in the given statement "The Newspapers had already published a fulsome report of whatever had been claimed till then" is B. whatever had been claimed till then.

Explanation:

  • The given sentence conveys the meaning that there was something which was claimed by some undisclosed group of people and that proclamation had already been published as fulsome reports by most newspapers.
  • Since this occurrence of publication of the reports has already occurred in the past, therefore, the correct tense to be used is the past participle form of the verb; that is, had published.
  • Once a past participle form s used in a sentence, the connected part of the sentence should not carry another verb usage in the past participle form.
  • Therefore, instead of the past participle form (had been claimed); the correct grammar would be the simple past form (was claimed).

Hence the correct statement should read as, "The newspapers had already published a fulsome report of whatever was claimed till then."
