    D D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E E Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The phrase "some of the" suggests that we are talking about multiple individuals (plural). However, "leader" is singular, which creates a mismatch in number. Hence, "leader" should be replaced with "leaders" to match the plural context.Corrected Sentence:"It is puzzling that some of the well-known corporate leaders in the country have been urging Indians to work longer hours."
