Question

Spot the error in the following sentence and rewrite it.
They have more than live up to their promise of that day.​

Answer 1

The error in the given sentence is 'publishing'. The verb form 'publishing' is a present participle that is used in a continuous (past, present or future) tense form. Also, this form is used in the active voice. But, the given sentence states an action that was done in the past (1952). Also, the given sentence is in passive voice. Hence the verb form will be in past tense passive form: was + verb.

Hence the correction is 'was 'published'.

The answer is:

The novel was published in 1952.
