Twenty officers have been dismissed and thirty left (A) / on their own(B) / no error(C)

A
Twenty officers have been dismissed and thirty left

B
On their own

C
No error

D
None of the above
Solution
The original sentence has a grammatical error in the verb tense consistency. The phrase ‘Twenty officers have been dismissed’ uses the present perfect passive voice , while ‘thirty left’ is in the simple past active voice without a helper verb.

To maintain parallel structure and correct grammar:

‘Thirty’ should be followed by ‘have left on their own’ .

This ensures both clauses use the same tense and voice.

A

B

Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
