Identify the error, if any, in the sentence below.
I do not wish to makeA a formal complaint, but I would have been better pleasedB if you gaveC the award to the person whoD best deserved it. No errorE.
Tenses need to be consistent throughout a sentence. “I would have been better pleased. . .” will not work with “if you gave. . .” “Gave” needs to be changed to “had given.” The answer is (C).
