Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option B

B

Solution :

The correct answer is Option B.


Step-by-step Explanation:


1. Analyze the Grammatical Structure:
The sentence uses the construction "one of the" followed by a noun phrase to indicate a single member of a group. Under standard grammatical rules, the phrase "one of the" must always be followed by a plural noun, because you are selecting one individual out of a group of multiple entities.


2. Identify the Error in Part (B):
In part (B), the phrase reads "the top researcher". Here, "researcher" is a singular noun. To make the sentence grammatically correct, "researcher" must be pluralized to "researchers".


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


Therefore, the error lies in part (B).
