Read each sentence to find out whether there is any grammatical or idiomatic error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. The number of that part is the answer. If there is ‘No error’, the answer is ‘e’. (Ignore errors of punctuation, if any)
Women remaining in vulnerable (A)/ environments facing social and (B)/ economic challenges are having an (C)/ impact on its empowerment. (D)
Correct Answer :
D
Solution :
The correct option is D.
Step-by-Step Explanation:
1. Analyze the subject of the sentence:
The main subject in the sentence is the plural noun "Women" ("Women remaining in vulnerable environments...").
2. Identify the pronoun reference error:
In part (D), the singular possessive pronoun "its" is used ("impact on its empowerment"). However, since it refers back to the plural subject "Women", the plural possessive pronoun "their" must be used instead.
3. Corrected Sentence:
"Women remaining in vulnerable environments facing social and economic challenges are having an impact on their empowerment."
Therefore, the error lies in part (D) of the sentence.
