The following sentence contains either a single error or no error at all. If the sentence contains an error, select the one bold part that must be changed to make the sentence correct. If the sentence contains no error, select choice E.
Once(A) the suspension bridge replaced the cantilever, the United States becomes(B) the world leader in this new(C) type of(D) long-span bridge building. No error(E)
A. (A)
B. (B)
C. (C)
D. (D)
E. (E)
Answer is B
Here's Why:
The error in this sentence occurs at (B), where there is an inappropriate verb form. To match the past tense established and used elsewhere in the sentence (“Once,” “replaced”), the past-tense “became” is needed.
