Question
Read each sentence carefully to find out whether there
is any grammatical or idiomatic error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence marked (a), (b), (c) or (d). Choose the option corresponding to that part. If the sentence is correct as it is, choose “No error (e)” as your answer. Ignore punctuation errors, if any. The policy framework seeks to promote financial inclusion (a), reduce regional disparities (b), and ensuring equitable access to institutional credit (c) across underserved communities (d). No error (e)Solution
This sentence violates the rule of parallelism, which requires that items joined by conjunctions such as and or or must have the same grammatical structure. Here, the sentence begins with two infinitive verb forms: “to promote” and “to reduce.” Therefore, the third action must also follow the same infinitive form to maintain structural symmetry. However, the phrase “ensuring equitable access” uses a gerund form instead of an infinitive, breaking the parallel construction. Grammatically, all three elements should read: “to promote…, to reduce…, and to ensure…”. Because part (c) disrupts this uniformity, it contains the error.
