Identify the segment in the sentence which contains the grammatical error.
If Priya was hiding something from me, she would have not been here.
Answer
Correct Answer : a ) If Priya was hiding
Explanation :The error is in part a.
The given sentence carries the third conditional.
The third conditional is used to express 'impossible' conditions. They are impossible because they happened in the past and we cannot change them.
The pattern for the third conditional is –
If + had + third form of the verb; would have/could have/ should have + third form.
Therefore, the correction is ‘If Priya had hidden/hid something from me’.
Hence, (a) is the correct answer.
