    Question

    1. A Literacy at Work study, published by the Northeast

    Institute in 2001, found that business losses attributed to basic skill deficiencies run into billions of dollars a year. 2. Sociological research has demonstrated that countries with lower levels of functional illiteracy among their adult populations tend to be those with the highest levels of scientific literacy. 3. This correspondence suggests that the capacity of schools to ensure students attains the functional literacy required to comprehend the basic texts contributes to a society's level of civic literacy. In the following question, three sentences are given, revolving around the same theme or idea. Decide which of the sentences are grammatically and meaningfully correct and mark the question accordingly.
    A Only 1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only 1 and 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only 1 and 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only 2 and 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E All 1, 2 and 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    (b) is the right answer as only 1 and 2 are grammatically and meaningfully correct. In 3, replace STUDENTS ATTAINS with STUDENTS ATTAIN as the plural noun students would require a plural verb to follow. Hence, the verb should be attain rather than attains, making 3 incorrect.
