    Question

    Find the error and mark the correct option. If there is

    no error, choose option E.   A. Analyzing the deep-space telemetry data, the research team discovered a highly B. unusual energy signature, one that contradicted all established C. model of stellar formation and decay, immediately prompting a frantic, all-night D. session to cross-reference the anomaly with decades of archival observatory recordings. E. No Error
    A A Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B B Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C C Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E E Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    • Original Sentence Fragment (C): contradicted all established model of stellar formation and decay, • Correction: The word "model" must be made plural to agree with the preceding quantifier "all." The corrected phrase would read: • ...contradicted all established models of stellar formation and decay... The error is an issue of noun-quantifier agreement. The quantifier "all" implies multiplicity, and therefore, the noun it modifies (model) must be in its plural form (models).
