    A The pride in individual success of a few at the global stage Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B often overshadows the need for systemicreforms Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C that wouldadvance India’s place in the world. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D no error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution


    In A, replace "at the global stage" with "on the global stage" because the correct preposition to use with "stage" in this context is "on" rather than "at." We say "on the stage" when referring to a figurative or literal stage where events take place. "At" is incorrect here because it does not properly convey the idea of participation or presence in a broader context like the global stage.The corrected sentence would be: "The pride in individual success of a few on the global stage often overshadows the need for systemic reforms that would advance India’s place in the world."Therefore, 1 is the right answer.
