Identify the error: He did not and will not go there.
AHe
Bdid not
Cand will not
Dgo there
✓ Correct Answer: B — did not
This sentence lacks verb consistency. 'Did' requires a base form 'go', so it should be 'He did not go and will not go there' to be clear, though in some informal contexts it might pass. Formally: 'He did not go and will not go'.
