    Until he has confessed his fault he will be kept in prison.
    Solutions
    The error is in option (A) of the sentence. It is a conditional sentence where the second clause is dependant on the first clause. The use of present perfect tense with "unless" is incorrect as the condition has not yet met but it is to be met in future. Such sentence are called future conditional sentence and in such sentences, we use simple present tense with the words like, unless, until, if, when and simple future is used in the second clause. Therefore, part (A) must be written as "until he confesses his fault".

    The political candidate talked as if she has already been elected to the presidency.
    Solutions
    Option D has the grammatically incorrect part. The use of the word 'talked' in the sentence shows us that past tense has been used in the sentence. So the use of 'has' is incorrect and 'had' should be used in its place. Hence the correct sentence would be 'The political candidate talked as if she had already been elected to the presidency'.
