Read each sentence to find out whether there is an error in any underlined part.
The Indian team defeats the English by an innings.
Answer: B
The error is in part (B) defeats the English.
The sentence reports a single completed result, a win by an innings, so it needs the past tense: The Indian team defeated the English by an innings. The simple present 'defeats' would describe a habit or general truth, which does not fit one match.
Parts (A) and (C) are correct, so 'No error' is wrong.
The simple past is the tense for a finished event at a definite time, which is how match results are reported.
