Question

    the grammatical error. As a consequently, (1)/ some have suffered (2)/ irreversible damage (3)/ to their health. (4)
    A As a consequently, Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B some have suffered Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C irreversible damage Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D to their health Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The grammatical error of the sentence is in option A. The sentence requires a noun while an adverb is used in its place. ‘Consequently’ means as a result and ‘consequence’ is a result of a particular action or situation, often one that is bad or not convenient. Thus, replace “consequently” with “consequence” to make the sentence grammatically correct. Correct sentence: As a consequence, some have suffered irreversible damage to their health.
