Question
Read each sentence to find out whether there is any
grammatical error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. Mark the part with the error as your answer. If there is no error, mark ‘No error’ as your answer (Ignore the errors of punctuation, if any). As negotiators from India and the European Union gather in New Delhi this week, / their task of hammering out a free trade agreement before the end of the year has acquired/ greater urgency because of the turbulent affecting the global economic landscape/ due to the disruptive impact of the tariff policies of the Donald Trump administration.ÂSolution
The error is in the phrase "the turbulent affecting." The word "turbulent" is an adjective, and "affecting" is a present participle functioning as a verb here. To make the phrase grammatically correct, "affecting" should be replaced with a noun, such as "turbulence" or "effects" . The correct phrasing should be: "because of the turbulence affecting the global economic landscape" or "because of the turbulent conditions affecting the global economic landscape."
