It has a long journey of many thousands (A) / of years until we became members of what is called (B) /the modern civilization, with its common (C) /features and aspirations across the globe (D) /No Error (E) .

The correct answer/option is A.

Detailed Explanation:

Let us analyze the given sentence by dividing it into its specified parts:

Part (A): "It has a long journey of many thousands"

Part (B): "of years until we became members of what is called"

Part (C): "the modern civilization, with its common"

Part (D): "features and aspirations across the globe"

Part (E): "No Error"

Grammatical Error in Part (A):

The sentence describes an action/journey that started in the past and continued up to the point when humans became members of modern civilization. Using the present perfect tense "has" is grammatically incorrect in this context because the timeframe refers to a completed past period leading up to another past event ("became").

Instead of the present tense auxiliary verb "has", the past perfect tense "had" should be used to denote an action completed prior to a past point in time, or the structure "It has been a long journey..." would be used if speaking generally about the duration up to now. In this specific sentence structure, changing "has" to "had" ("It had been a long journey..." or "It was a long journey...") correctly establishes the proper sequence of past events.

Therefore, Part (A) contains the grammatical error.
