Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option E

B

Solution :

The correct option is B.

Explanation:
Part (B) of the sentence contains a subject-verb agreement error: "on financial planning, he discover".

The pronoun "he" is third-person singular. In the present tense, it requires a singular verb ending in "-s" (discovers), or in the past tense, it requires the past form (discovered). The base form "discover" is grammatically incorrect when paired with "he".

Corrected Sentence:
"Upon completing the seminar on financial planning, he discovers (or discovered) practical methods to expand his consultancy firm."
