Directions: Each sentence is split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error. If the sentence is grammatically correct, select option E ("No error").
Adapting to the new software (A) / has required the implementation of highly complex (B) / and detailed regulations for the department (C) / impacting every components of the system (D).
Correct Answer :
D
Solution :
The correct option is D.
Explanation:
Segment (D) contains a grammatical error in the phrase "impacting every components of the system".
The quantifier/determiner "every" must always be followed by a singular countable noun. In segment (D), "every" is incorrectly paired with the plural noun "components".
Correction:
To correct the error, the plural noun "components" should be changed to its singular form "component" (or alternatively, "every" can be replaced with "all").
Corrected Sentence:
"Adapting to the new software has required the implementation of highly complex and detailed regulations for the department, impacting every component of the system."
