      Question

      Read the sentence to find out whether there is any

      grammatical or idiomatic error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. The letter of that part is the answer. If there is ‘No error’, the answer is (5). (Ignore errors of punctuation, if any). Local authorities are tasked with (A)/ ensuring  of the guidelines (B)/ are followed, though there are (C)/ reports of non-compliance in some regions.(D) No error (E)
      A A Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B B Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C C Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      The error is in part (B): "ensuring of the guidelines." Ensuring is typically followed by "that" or simply the noun directly, such as "ensuring compliance," "ensuring safety," or "ensuring adherence." Using "of" introduces an unnecessary prepositional phrase that doesn't fit well in this context. Hence, the correct phrase is "ensuring that the guidelines" or "ensuring the guidelines." "Local authorities are tasked with ensuring the guidelines are followed, though there are reports of non-compliance in some regions."
