    divided into parts. One of the parts may contain an error. Identify the part that contains the error, and mark it as the answer. Ignore errors of punctuation. In case the sentence is correct as it is, mark option (4), that is, 'No error'.The government has been taking several measures to enhance the growth of the economy, which includes reducing taxes on the lower-income groups, and improving infrastructure.
    A The government has been takingmeasures to enhance Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B the growth of the economy, which includes reducing Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C taxes on the lower-income groups, and improving infrastructure Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    In this sentence, the phrase "which includes reducing taxes" is not correct. It should be "which include reducing taxes" because "measures" is plural, so the verb should agree with it in number. The corrected sentence will be: The government has been taking several measures to enhance the growth of the economy, which include reducing taxes on the lower-income groups, and improving infrastructure.
