The sentence below has been divided into four parts: (A), (B), (C), and (D). Select the segment containing a grammatical error. If the sentence contains no error, select 'No error' as your answer.
The board of directors pledged (A)/ to upgrading existing facility centers (B)/ in rural townships by allocating (C)/ additional revenues in the next fiscal cycle. (D)
Correct Answer :
B
B
Solution :
The correct answer is B.
Explanation:
Segment (B) contains a grammatical error: "to upgrading existing facility centers".
The verb "pledge" takes a full infinitive verb form (to + base form of the verb) to show intent or promise, rather than a gerund ("upgrading"). Therefore, the phrase "to upgrading" should be replaced with "to upgrade".
Incorrect phrase: to upgrading existing facility centers
Correct phrase: to upgrade existing facility centers
Correct Sentence:
The board of directors pledged to upgrade existing facility centers in rural townships by allocating additional revenues in the next fiscal cycle.
