Discussion
Read each sentence comprising of (a), (b), (c) and (d) to find out whether there is any grammatical error or idiomatic error in it. Find out the incorrect option from amongst the sentences given below.
(a) Having received your letter
(b) this morning, we are writing
(c) to thank you for the same.
(d) No error.
Answer: D
The answer is No error.
'Having received your letter this morning, we are writing to thank you for the same.' The participle phrase 'Having received your letter' refers correctly to the subject we, who received the letter, and the present continuous 'we are writing' suits a letter being written now.
Part (a) is not a dangling participle, part (b) has the right tense, and 'for the same' in part (c), though formal commercial English, is accepted usage, so none of them is in error.
