If a sentence is free from error, select 'No Error'. If Ramesh knew what (1)/ he wanted, he would have never permitted (2) her to go. (3)/ No error. (4) Correct Answer 2
The correct option is option 2 because the use of 'he would have never permitted' is wrong.
We should use second conditional to talk about imaginary situations. The second conditional is a structure used for talking about unreal situations in the present or in the future.
In the second conditional, we should use the simple past tense in the if-clause and would + infinitive in the main clause.
Therefore, we should use 'he would never permit' to make a correct sentence.
