Find the part of the given sentence that has an error in it. If there is no error, choose ‘No error’.
The recent discoveries have risen hopes about possible applications.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1 i.e, have risen hopes.
Error concept: Incorrect verb usage
What is wrong: "have risen" is used with an object "hopes"
Grammatical concept: "Rise" is intransitive (no object), "raise" is transitive (takes object)
Incorrectness: "Risen" cannot be used with "hopes"
How to correct: Use "have raised" instead
Final sentence: The recent discoveries have raised hopes about possible applications.
Hence, the chosen part with the error is: have risen hopes
