English grammar – Spot the error (choose the part with an error or “No error”). Sentence: We don't deny / your right to know / whatever happened while / you were not in the office.

Introduction / Context:
This item tests clause structure and tense in a complex sentence involving a negated main clause and a temporal subordinate clause. The task is to determine whether any segment contains a grammatical error.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Main clause: “We don’t deny your right to know …”.
• Object: a gerund-participial complement “your right to know”.
• Embedded content clause: “whatever happened while you were not in the office.”

Concept / Approach:
All parts align with standard usage: “right to know” is idiomatic; “whatever happened” uses past tense for a completed time; “while you were not in the office” is a correct temporal clause. There is no disagreement, faulty preposition, or tense mismatch.
