B B Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C C Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

In this sentence, the word “whose” is incorrectly used. The relative pronoun “whose” expresses possession and must be followed by a noun indicating what is possessed. In the given sentence, no such noun follows “whose,” which makes the construction grammatically invalid. The sentence requires a relative pronoun referring to people without expressing possession, which would be “who.” Since this incorrect usage occurs in part (A), that part contains the error and is therefore the correct answer.
