    D 4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The verb "refrains" is incorrect in this context. Since the sentence describes something that happened in the past, we need to use the past tense of the verb. The correct verb should be "refrained" (past tense).

    The sentence should read: "The issue became so serious that Mr. Doval refrained from accompanying Prime Minister on an official visit."
