There's a far worse error there -- a comma splice. Do you see it?
yes i think it should be B
To determine the error in the passage, we need to carefully analyze each option given. Let's assess each option:
A. The word "had" is used instead of "have."
In the sentence, "The waiter had recommended," the use of "had" is correct because it is in past tense. The sentence is referring to an action that occurred before the time being spoken about.
B. The word "went" is used instead of "goes."
In the sentence, "which the waiter had recommended, it went without saying," the use of "went" is correct because it is used in a past tense context. This sentence conveys that something happened as a result of the waiter's recommendation in the past.
C. The word "but" is used instead of "and."
In the sentence, "it went without saying, but she said it anyway," the use of "but" is appropriate as it establishes a contrast between the expectation and the action that occurred. The speaker is pointing out that even though it was unnecessary to say something, she still said it.
D. The word "good" is used instead of "well."
In the sentence, "I don't feel too good," the use of "good" is colloquially acceptable. While "well" might be considered more grammatically correct, "good" is commonly used in casual conversation to describe one's physical condition.
Therefore, the correct answer is not B. The passage does not contain errors in terms of verb tense or the use of "went."
