Verbal Ability - Spotting Errors - Discussion

thank you all for explaining the answer in detail.

The sentence is grammatically correct, but it can be slightly refined for clarity and formality.
The phrase "for the same" is often considered somewhat awkward or redundant in formal writing. A clearer and more common expression would be "for your letter" or "for the information" (depending on context).

Refined Sentence: Having received your letter this morning, we are writing to thank you for it.

The error in the sentence is in option B.

The correct phrase should be "This morning, we are writing to thank you for the same."
The word "to" is missing before "thank you," which is necessary to show the purpose of writing the letter.

The correct form of sentence is;

Having received your letter this morning, we are writing to thank you for it.

@All.

Using "we were writing" would change the meaning and disrupt the logical flow of the sentence. Here’s why:.

Difference between "we are writing" and "we were writing":

"We are writing" indicates that the act of writing the response is happening now (at the time of writing the letter).

Example: "Having received your letter this morning, we are writing to thank you for it".
The receipt of the letter triggers an immediate response, so present continuous ("we are writing") is appropriate.
"We were writing" is in the past continuous tense, implying the action of writing began in the past and was interrupted or is no longer happening.

Example: "We were writing to thank you, but got interrupted".
This suggests that the act of writing happened at some previous time and wasn’t necessarily completed at the time of speaking.

The correct sentence is actually "to thank you for it". So, the answer is option C.

We received your letter this morning.

Is it right or wrong? Please describe.

What about-"Having received your letter this morning, we were waiting to thank you"?

Correct me, If I am wrong.

Anyone, Please explain the correct answer.

The correct answer is option C.

It should be "Having received your letter this morning, we are writing to thank you for it".
