Option B

The sudden downfall of the tech firm had a devastating impact on the local economy.

Solution :

The correct grammatically error-free sentence is: "The sudden downfall of the tech firm had a devastating impact on the local economy."

Detailed Analysis of Options:
1. "The manager asked the employees to submit his reports before the weekend."Incorrect. The plural noun "employees" requires the plural possessive pronoun "their" rather than the singular "his".
2. "The sudden downfall of the tech firm had a devastating impact on the local economy."Correct. The sentence is proper in structure, pronoun usage, preposition, and subject-verb agreement.
3. "The research team published a comprehensive report at renewable energy resources."Incorrect. The preposition "at" is used incorrectly; the standard preposition following "report" in this context is "on" or "about".
4. "The lead actor's performance in both plays were widely praised by critics."Incorrect. The main subject is the singular noun "performance", which requires the singular auxiliary verb "was" instead of "were".
