Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
The error lies in the phrase "and all sneezes". The correct sentence should be "We all sneeze for the same reason, and sneezing is not the same for everyone." The use of "sneezes" is incorrect in this context, as the sentence refers to the action of sneezing rather than the plural noun "sneezes."
