Sentence improvement (parallel tense and voice): choose the best correction for a habitual-action sentence Original sentence: "The small child does whatever his father was done." Select the option that makes the sentence grammatically correct and idiomatic. If no change is needed, choose "No correction required".

Given data

• Original: “The small child does whatever his father was done.”
• Goal: Correct tense/voice and ensure parallel structure.

Concept/ApproachFor habitual/general actions, keep present simple in both clauses: “does … does”. Also, avoid passive “was done” where an active verb is needed.

Option analysisdoes — correct parallelism: “The small child does whatever his father does.” ✅has done/had done — perfect aspects shift the meaning to completed past; not a general habit.did — simple past mismatches the present habitual “does”.No correction required — incorrect because “was done” is ungrammatical in this context.

Common pitfalls

• Mixing tenses inside a general, timeless statement.
• Accidentally using passive voice (“was done”) after “whatever his father …”.

Final Answer… whatever his father does.
