Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Solution
The segment that contains the error is 'I have got'.
Explanation:
The sentence includes a specific past time ('in 2005').
When a definite past time is given, use the simple past tense for the action, not the present perfect or present-tense 'have got'.
The past perfect ('had got') would be used only when describing an action that occurred before another past event; that is not the case here.
Correct sentence: I got my Master's degree in 2005.
