Question

Select the option that identifies the error and supplies the correction for the sentence from a public health campaign.
The campaign's goal is to increase physical activity among the younger.

Option	Error	Correction
(A)	activity	activities
(B)	goal	goals
(C)	younger	youth
(D)	is	are

Hint:

- Ensure the word choice matches the context: adjectives describe, while nouns identify.
- Use collective nouns like youth when referring to a group or demo graphic.

Answer 1

The word younger is incorrectly used as it is a comparative adjective and does not fit the context. The correct term is youth, which appropriately refers to young people collectively.
