Question
The government has been taking (1)/ a number of
initiatives to reduce (2)/ the traffic congestion, however, the (3)/ situation remains far from improved.(4)/ no error (5)                                                                    Read the 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 letter of that part is the answer. If there is ‘No error’, the answer is (5). (Ignore errors of punctuation, if any).Solution
The phrase "far from improved" is incorrect. The correct expression should be "far from improving" because the verb "improve" should be in its gerund form (improving) after the phrase "far from." This is a common grammatical construction when referring to something being far from happening or improving. Corrected sentence: "The government has been taking a number of initiatives to reduce the traffic congestion, however, the situation remains far from improving ."
