- Published on 21 Feb 17

a. 1
b. 2
c. 3
d. 4
e. 5

ANSWER: 3
 
Replace ‘once’ with ‘after’

‘After’ means at the end of period of time in the past.

The correct sentence should be: It is not possible to exchange the goods after the sale has been completed.

Use of After, In

‘After’ means at the end of period of time in the past, whereas, ‘In’ means at the end of a period of time in future.

Example: I shall return your things in a week.
She returned the book after a week.
