Question

Find out which part of the sentence has an error, if there is no error, mark option 4

• A. the primary objective of the essay is to draw
• B. analogies between the two work
• C. addressing the common memories and trauma of dislocation
• D. no error

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To identify the error in the given sentence, we need to assess the grammatical correctness of each part of the sentence in order.

1. Part 1: "the primary objective of the essay is to draw"
   This part of the sentence is grammatically correct. It introduces the main clause with a clear subject ("the primary objective"), verb ("is"), and infinitive verb phrase ("to draw").
2. Part 2: "analogies between the two work"
   Here is where the error lies. The noun "work" should be in its plural form because it refers to "two," which signifies more than one. The correct word should be "works." Therefore, the corrected phrase should be "analogies between the two works."
3. Part 3: "addressing the common memories and trauma of dislocation"
   This segment is grammatically correct. It appropriately uses a gerund ("addressing") to introduce a participial phrase that elaborates on the purpose or theme of the comparisons.
4. Part 4: "no error"
   Since we identified an error in Part 2, this option is incorrect.

In conclusion, the error in the sentence is found in Part 2: "analogies between the two work," and the correct form should be "analogies between the two works."
