(B), (C), and (D). One of the parts may contain a grammatical error. Identify the part that has the error. If there is no error, select 5) (No Error) as your answer. (Ignore punctuation errors.) The report highlights the need(A)/ for a stricter regulations(B)/ to prevent misuse of public funds(C)/ by local authorities across states(D).Solution
The phrase "a stricter regulations" is incorrect because it combines the indefinite article "a" (used with singular nouns) with the plural noun "regulations." The correct usage would be either "stricter regulations" (without "a") or "a stricter regulation" (singular). Therefore, the corrected phrase should be:"for stricter regulations."
