Question
In the following questions, a sentence is divided into
four parts. Choose the part(s)Ā of the sentence which may contain a grammatical error in it. If all the parts of the sentence are grammatically correct and contextually meaningful, choose option (e) i.e. āno errorā as your answer choice. As a party to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and (a)/ multiple related accords, India has pledged to progressively cut down itās (b)/ dependence on fossil fuels and achieved ānet zeroā status, (c)/ meaning nearly all energy would come from clean sources by 2070. (d)Solution
(b) "India has pledged to progressively cut down itās dependence on fossil fuels..." "itās" is incorrect. āitāsā = āit isā The correct form is āitsā (possessive pronoun). (c) "...and achieved ānet zeroā status," Tense mismatch. The sentence uses āhas pledgedā (present perfect), so the second verb should be parallel in form. āachievedā (simple past) breaks parallelism. It should be āand to achieveā or āand achieveā to maintain correct structure.
