The other options, such as "some people" or "someone," may imply that only certain individuals are prone to making mistakes, which does not align with the given statement. "Not anybody" is not a suitable option as it suggests that nobody can make a mistake, contradicting the initial statement.Rate this question:

The phrase "I'll return the newspaper" indicates a future action, and the phrase "when I have looked through it" suggests that the action of looking through the newspaper will be completed before the return. Therefore, the present perfect tense "have looked" is the appropriate choice.Rate this question:
