Question

A sentence is divided into three parts. Choose the incorrect part. If there is no error in the sentence, choose the option (4).

• A. If we want to raised a generation that is healthier and better prepared for the future,
• B. we must start by making ‘ learning to eat well’
• C. a part of child’s education.
• D. No error

Hint:

Whenever you see 'to' followed by a verb, check if it has an -ed or -ing ending. Usually, these are errors; it should be the plain, simple verb.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept: This question focuses on the "Infinitive" form of verbs. In English, the word "to" when used as an infinitive marker must be followed by the base form (V1) of the verb, not the past tense or past participle form.

Step 1: Locating the infinitive phrase.
In part (A), the phrase is "want to raised". The structure here is: Verb (want) + to + Main Verb.

Step 2: Identifying the grammatical error.
The word "raised" is the past tense/past participle form of the verb "raise." According to the rule of infinitives:
• Incorrect: to + raised (V2/V3)
• Correct: to + raise (V1)

Step 3: Verification of other parts.
Parts (B) and (C) are grammatically sound. "Must start by making" is correct usage, and "a part of child's education" is a standard noun phrase. Thus, the error is strictly isolated to the verb form in part (A). Final Answer: Option A
