If no part in the sentence has an error then, mark 'no error' as your answer. Consider part (e)   in bold as grammatically correct.

    A AB Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B AC Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C AD Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D BC Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Solution The errors lie in AC. A - replace the adjective SOLE with the adverb SOLELY as it is being used to modify the verb FOCUSED. C - replace the noun RAISE (the act of increasing) with RISE (advent; emergence) , as the latter is more meaningful in the context of the emergence of multi-faceted threats. Thus, B is the right answer.
