| Error | Correction |
|-------|------------|
| demands | demanded |
Explanation
The sentence is in past tense ("requested," "let him go"). The verb "demands" must change to demanded to maintain tense consistency. Examiners specifically check subject-verb agreement and tense consistency in error correction questions.
