    context of the given sentences. If there is no error, mark option 5, i.e. No error. (Ignore the punctuation errors, if any.) Overweight and obesity in (a)/ adults and children have doubled (b)/ in the last 15 years and tripled (c)/ in the last three decade (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 E Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    "Three decade" is incorrect because "decade" is singular. Since "three" is plural, the correct word should be "decades" (plural form). Corrected Sentence: "Overweight and obesity in adults and children have doubled in the last 15 years and tripled in the last three decades."
