    four parts. Choose the part 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 “no error” as your answer choice. While domestic labour has increasingly entered the public discourse,(a)/ the emotional and mental labour in sustaining (b)/ relationships, managing household dynamics, and supporting (c)/ the well-being of others continued to go largely unacknowledged. (d)
    A d Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B a Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C b Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D c Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The error in the sentence lies in the phrase "supporting the well-being of others continued to go largely unacknowledged." The subject "the emotional and mental labour" is singular and Present tense, so the verb should be "continues". However, the use of "supporting" (a gerund) requires a clearer subject-verb agreement with "the emotional and mental labour". The correct phrase should be "and supporting the well-being of others continues to go largely unacknowledged."
