Question
In the question below, three sentences are given, each
divided into four parts, which may or may not contain grammatical errors. From the options, choose the one that provides the combination of the part(s) of each sentence that are incorrect. 1. Americans heading into the holiday season (A)/ and the new school year (B)/ are grappled with interrelated upheavals in health, (C)/ the economy, family life, and race relations. (D) 2. The COVID-19 crisis is (A)/ falling hardest on the (B)/ workers trapped in precarious, non-standard, (C)/ and low-wage jobs without health insurance or benefits. (D) 3. The jobs susceptible to the pandemic-induced (A)/ recession overlaps with those that will be (B)/ susceptible to accelerating (C)/ digitisation and automation as the economy recovers. (D)Solution
(a) is the right answer. In 1, there is an error in fragment C. We need a verb in the continuous form to fit in the present continuous construction of ARE+VERB. We need to replace GRAPPLED with GRAPPLING. 2 is grammatically and contextually correct. In 3, there is an error in fragment B. We need to replace OVERLAPS with OVERLAP. The subject of the sentence is plural (JOBS). We need the plural form of the verb to agree with the plural subject.
