    A priest is come our mansion today to dance a ritual Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B priest are visiting our mansion today to dance a ritual Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C priest is visiting our mansion today to perform a ritual Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D priest is visiting ours mansion today to dance a ritual Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No correction required Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    (c) A priest cannot 'dance' a ritual, rather a ritual is 'performed' by a priest. Thus, the usage of the verb 'dance' renders the statement contextually incorrect. Thus, 'dance' must be replaced with 'perform'. The only option with this correction is option (c) and thus all other options are eliminated. Hence, the correct answer is option (c).
