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). Mainstream conventional media remains important/ and influential, not least because, bizarrely, in most/ democracies the broadcasters continue to let the press/ have set their agenda for them.Solution
The verb phrase "have set" is grammatically incorrect. The verb "let" requires a bare infinitive (the base form of the verb without "to") after the object. The correct phrase should be "let the press set their agenda." The phrase "have set" is in the present perfect tense, which is not the proper tense to follow the verb "let" in this construction.
