Each question is divided into four parts where one of the parts may or may not contain an error. Choose the partthat has the error as your answer. If allthe parts are correct choose

“No Error”.

The company's goals are (A)/ to expand its market share, (B)/ increase profitability, and (C)/ enhancing customer satisfaction. (D)

The correct answer is D.

Step-by-Step Explanation:

To identify the error in the sentence, we need to analyze its grammatical structure, specifically focusing on the list of the company's goals:
1. "to expand its market share" (Part B) - This uses the infinitive form "to expand".
2. "increase profitability" (Part C) - This uses the bare infinitive "increase", which is parallel to "expand" as they both share the initial preposition "to" (i.e., to [expand ... and increase ...]).
3. "enhancing customer satisfaction" (Part D) - This uses the gerund form "enhancing" (verb ending in -ing).

According to the rule of parallel structure, all items in a list must be in the same grammatical form to ensure clarity and balance. Since the first two elements are infinitive verbs, the third element must also be an infinitive ("enhance") rather than a gerund ("enhancing").

Therefore, Part D contains the error. To correct the sentence, "enhancing" should be changed to "enhance":
"The company's goals are to expand its market share, increase profitability, and enhance customer satisfaction."
