(b) who had trudged for hundreds of kilometres
(c) has finally arrived at the destination.
(d) No error
The given sentence in the question is:
(a) A group of wayfaring tourists
(b) who had trudged for hundreds of kilometres
(c) has finally arrived at the destination.
We need to identify if there is any grammatical error in the sentence, focusing on subject-verb agreement, tense, and other elements of grammar.
- Part (a): "A group of wayfaring tourists" - The phrase refers to a collective noun "group," modified by the prepositional phrase "of wayfaring tourists." The subject here is singular ("group"). Therefore, there is no error in this part.
- Part (b): "who had trudged for hundreds of kilometres" - This clause is a relative clause describing the tourists within the group. The past perfect tense "had trudged" is correctly used here to indicate an action completed before the current time frame. Hence, there is no error.
- Part (c): "has finally arrived at the destination." - The verb "has arrived" is correctly in the present perfect tense to denote a recent action relevant to the present. Since the subject "group" is treated as a singular entity, "has" is the correct verb form. There is no error here.
The sentence is grammatically correct in all parts, and option (d) "No error" is the correct choice.
Overall, each part of the sentence adheres to standard grammatical rules, maintaining proper subject-verb agreement and correct usage of tense. Hence, the correct answer is No error.
