    Solutions

    The sentence is grammatically incorrect, and error lies in option C. When in any sentence ‘between’ is used it is followed by ‘and’ and not ‘to’ whereas ‘from’ is usually followed by preposition ‘to’. Thus, ‘to’ should be replaced with ‘and’ in order to make the sentence grammatically sound.

    Lucy has already cut the cake when we reached the party hall.

    Solutions

    Option B has the grammatically incorrect part. These two tenses are used to talk about things that happened in the past. However, we use past perfect to talk about something that happened before another action in the past, which is usually expressed by the past simple. The cake cutting ceremony happened first in the order; therefore, we will use past perfect tense here. Replace “has” with “had” to make the sentence grammatically correct.
