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 training programme aims at enhancing technical competence (a) as well as to develop leadership qualities (b) among officers who are expected to handle complex policy decisions (c) under evolving regulatory frameworks (d). No error (e)Solution
This sentence violates the rule of parallelism. The structure begins with aims at enhancing (preposition + gerund), but the second part incorrectly uses to develop (infinitive). Parallel elements must follow the same grammatical form. Correct form: aims at enhancing… as well as developing… Hence, the error is in part (b).
