Select the underlined word or phrase that needs to be changed to make the sentence correct.
Sam has lost her passport again. It's the second time this has happen.
DSSSB - 2023,
Answer: D
The part that needs a change is 'happen'. In 'It's the second time this has happen' the verb comes after 'has', so it needs the past participle 'happened'. The words 'has lost' are correct for a present perfect sentence, and 'second' is a correct ordinal for the time. So 'happen' is the error to be changed.
