Find the part of the sentence that contains an error:
He objected to the new policy (1)/ on the grounds that (2)/ it violated the principle rights (3)/ of the employees. (4)/
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. (3)
Part (3) is incorrect because the phrase principle rights is wrong in the sentence “it violated the principle rights of the employees.” The word principle means a rule or belief, which does not fit here. The correct word is principal, which means main or most important. Since the sentence is talking about important rights of employees, principal rights is the correct usage.
