Correct Answer :

Option E

Cooperatives are organize as member-owned associations that are independent of external investor control.

Solution :

The correct option containing a grammatical error is: "Cooperatives are organize as member-owned associations that are independent of external investor control."


Explanation and Grammatical Analysis:

1. Analyzing the incorrect sentence:
In the sentence "Cooperatives are organize as member-owned associations that are independent of external investor control," the phrase "are organize" is grammatically incorrect.
The sentence requires a passive voice construction ("are" + past participle). The correct verb form of "organize" in this context is the past participle "organized". Therefore, the corrected sentence should read: "Cooperatives are organized as member-owned associations that are independent of external investor control."


2. Reviewing the remaining options:

"Germany is a highly industrialised nation, and a key player in European economics."
This sentence is grammatically correct. "Industrialised" is correctly used as an adjective, and the parallel structure is sound.

"Volcanoes express their activity by erupting and releasing or dispersing ash into the atmosphere."
This sentence is grammatically correct. The present participle forms ("erupting", "releasing", "dispersing") are correctly used in a parallel list following the preposition "by".

"She harbors a resentment toward them for not keeping her in the loop."
This sentence is grammatically correct. The phrasing "harbors a resentment" and the idiomatic expression "keeping her in the loop" are correctly applied.
