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).If the sentence is correct as it is, choose “No error ” as option (e) your answer. Ignore errors of punctuation, if any. The committee emphasised the need to balance rapid economic expansion (a) with environmental safeguards (b) so that growth remains both inclusive (c) and sustainably in the long run (d). No error (e)Solution
The error lies in part (d) due to incorrect adverbial formation. The word sustainably is an adverb, but here it is incorrectly paired with “in the long run,” creating redundancy and structural imbalance. The sentence requires an adjective parallel to inclusive. Correct structure: inclusive and sustainable in the long run. Thus, “sustainably” should be “sustainable.”
