Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option B

B

Solution :

The correct answer is B.


Step-by-step Explanation:


1. Grammar Rule: The grammatical structure "one of the..." is used to refer to a single item or person out of a group. Because it refers to one member among several, it must always be followed by a plural noun (or plural noun phrase).


2. Sentence Analysis:

• Part (A): "Sarah is considered one of" - This introduces the phrase requiring a plural noun after "the".

• Part (B): "the top researcher in the field" - Here, the singular noun "researcher" is used instead of the plural form "researchers".

• Part (C): "of neuroscience due to" - Correct prepositional usage and reasoning.

• Part (D): "her groundbreaking discoveries." - Correct noun phrase.


3. Correction: The singular noun "researcher" in part (B) should be replaced with the plural noun "researchers".


Corrected Sentence: "Sarah is considered one of the top researchers in the field of neuroscience due to her groundbreaking discoveries."


Therefore, part (B) contains the error.
