    B Only II Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Both I & III Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Both II & III Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    In 1st part, the phrase 'aspiration to becoming' is incorrect. The correct form is "aspiration to become" rather than "aspiration to becoming." The phrase "aspiration to" is typically followed by the base form of the verb (infinitive) without "to." Therefore, "aspiration to become" is appropriate. In the 2nd part, the correct preposition to use with "intertwined" is "with," not "by." Therefore, "is intertwined with" is appropriate. Among the given options, only option (i) makes both corrections: Option (i): "aspiration to become an, is intertwined with the goal of having" Therefore, the correct answer is Only I.
