The given sentence has been broken up into four different parts A, B, C and D. The error, if any, will be in any one part of the sentence. Select the options which contains the part of the sentence which has an error (spelling, grammatical or contextual). If there is no error, choose options ((e). poorly regulated pharmaceutical ((a) / industry mean that antibiotics ((b) / are freely available to ((c) / those who can afford them ((d)

• (a)
• (b)
• (c)
• (d)
• (e)

Hint:

Check subject-verb agreement: singular subject requires singular verb. "Industry" is singular, so it should be "means."

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Identify the subject and verb agreement in the sentence.
Step 2: The subject is "industry" (singular), but the verb "mean" is plural.
Step 3: The correct verb should be "means" to agree with the singular subject.
Step 4: The error is in part ((b): "industry mean" should be "industry means."
