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)
As a result of societal and (A)/ economic obstacles, women (B)/ continue to been marginalized and (C)/ live in hazardous conditions. (D)
Correct Answer :
C
Solution :
The correct option is C.
Explanation:
The error lies in part (C) of the sentence: "continue to been marginalized and".
In English grammar, the to-infinitive construction requires the base form of the verb after 'to' (i.e., ). Therefore, 'to' should be followed by the base verb 'be' instead of the past participle form 'been'.
Corrected Sentence:
"As a result of societal and economic obstacles, women continue to be marginalized and live in hazardous conditions."
