Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option A

Liquid assets consist of currency and receivables that are designed to be convert into funds.

Solution :

The sentence that contains a grammatical error is: "Liquid assets consist of currency and receivables that are designed to be convert into funds."

Explanation of the Error:
In English grammar, when using the passive infinitive structure (to be + verb), the verb must take its past participle form (V3).
In the sentence above, the base form of the verb "convert" is incorrectly used following "to be".

Corrected Sentence:
"Liquid assets consist of currency and receivables that are designed to be converted into funds."
