Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
The question requires identifying the error in the given sentence.
Step 2: Detailed Explanation:
Error in part (b): "should be fighting" should be "should fight" to maintain parallel structure with "grieve" and "cry." The sentence should read: "We grieve our loss and cry helplessly while we should fight for our rights and die a noble death."
Step 3: Final Answer:
Thus, the error is in part (b).
