Correct Answer :
Imports of goods appear to have grew at a far lower pace than in recent months
Solution :
The correct option containing an error is: Imports of goods appear to have grew at a far lower pace than in recent months
Explanation:
Let us analyze the given sentences step-by-step to identify the grammatical error:
1. "Subhas Bose was born into wealth and privilege in a large Bengali family."
This sentence is grammatically correct. The past tense verb "was born" and prepositions "into" and "in" are used correctly.
2. "An important issue that was not highlighted was the issue of equality."
This sentence is grammatically correct and uses consistent tense structure ("was not highlighted", "was").
3. "The Black Sea Grain Deal endeavours to tackle escalating food prices."
This sentence is grammatically correct. The singular subject "Deal" agrees with the singular verb "endeavours", followed by the correct infinitive form "to tackle".
4. "Imports of goods appear to have grew at a far lower pace than in recent months"
This sentence contains a grammatical error. The phrase "to have grew" is incorrect.
Rule: The perfect infinitive structure is formed by using "to have" + past participle (V3) of the main verb.
- Infinitive (V1): grow
- Past Simple (V2): grew
- Past Participle (V3): grown
Therefore, "grew" (past simple) should be replaced with "grown" (past participle).
Correct Sentence:
"Imports of goods appear to have grown at a far lower pace than in recent months."
