Sentence Improvement - English Aptitude MCQ Questions and Answers

The members attending the meeting were men in powerful positions, high in the councils of their respective governments.

In the sentence, "It is time the six-year-old is learning how to read and write," the verb tense "is learning" is not appropriate. The sentence requires a past or past perfect tense to convey the idea that the child should have already learned how to read and write by now.

Option A, "has learned," is the correct choice because it uses the present perfect tense, indicating that the child has learned these skills up to the present moment.

The other options are not correct for this context:
Option B, "learnt," is the past tense, but it doesn't convey the idea that the child has learned by now.
Option C, "was learning," is in the past continuous tense and doesn't fit the context.
Option D, "No improvement," is not correct because the sentence needs to be improved for proper grammar and meaning.

So, the correct answer is Option A: has learned, which is the most suitable choice to convey the intended meaning that the child has acquired the skills of reading and writing up to the present moment.
