A.
Because of the cricket tournament
B.
organizational work hardly
C.
have had any
D.
rest since one week.
Answer
E.
No error

Answer: Option D

Solution

Answer: Option D
Solution:
The phrase "rest since one week" is incorrect.

Correct usage should be "rest for one week" or "rest since last week."

The word "since" is used to refer to a specific point in time, while "for" is used to refer to a duration of time.

Therefore, the sentence should be corrected to: "Because of the cricket tournament organizational work, I have had hardly any rest for one week."
