If the sentences are correct then select ‘No improvement required’ as your answer.

Not only India but some other countries also faces the impacts of climate change.

The correct option is also face the impacts of.

Step-by-step Explanation:

1. Subject-Verb Agreement:
When two subjects are connected using the correlative conjunction "Not only... but (also)...", the verb must agree with the subject that is closest to it (the subject following "but").

In the given sentence:
- First subject: "India" (singular)
- Second subject (closer to the verb): "some other countries" (plural)

Since "some other countries" is a plural subject, it requires a plural verb. Therefore, "faces" (singular verb) is incorrect, and "face" (plural verb) must be used.

2. Preposition Usage:
The noun "impact" or "impacts" when denoting influence or effect is correctly followed by the preposition "of" when referring to the cause (e.g., "impacts of climate change"). Prepositions like "for" or "by" are grammatically incorrect in this context.

Combining both rules, the phrase "also face the impacts of" correctly replaces the bolded part.
