Question
In the following question, four sentences that form a
coherent paragraph are given. Decide which of the sentences are grammatically and meaningfully correct and mark the answer option that contains these sentences. 1. Each year, thousands of illegal migrants from the Middle East, sub-Saharan and Northern Africa risk their lives attempting to reach this seemingly insignificant, twenty-square-kilometer jagged rock, an island a home to only 4,500 people. 2. Since the province of Agrigento, Sicily, to which the island belong, is one of the few municipalities in all of Europe equipped with a processing center that accepts undocumented immigrants, Lampedusa is a highly desirable destination for illegal migrants and asylum-seekers. 3. The Guardia Costiera, or Italian Coast Guard, bears the responsibility for collecting the migrant-filled boats once they have crossed into European waters and transporting their passengers to the island's center. 4. There, the migrants are provided with shelter and a daily stipend until they receive papers to continue the process of temporary naturalization or, more rarely, are sent back to their country of origination.Solution
1 - replace A HOME with HOME, as the latter is used to mean a place of dwelling. It does not require an article to modify it. 2 - replace the plural verb BELONG with the singular BELONGS, as it is being used to refer to the singular noun ISLAND. 4 - replace ORIGINATION with ORIGIN, as the former refers to the process by which something comes into existence, while the latter is used to mean the place where something came into existence. Here, the sentence talks about the country where the migrants came from. Only 3 is without error, which makes (b) the right answer.
