Identify the error in the given sentence and select the option that correctly rectifies the error.
PIEZO2 plays an critical role along with Piezo1 to regulate a important physiological process for brain to understand.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

 The correct answer is option 2, i.e. “PIEZO2 plays a critical role along with Piezo1 to regulate an important physiological process for the brain to understand.'

There are two errors in the original sentence related to article usage:

- “an critical role” – “an” should be “a” because “critical” begins with a consonant sound.

- “a important physiological process” – should be “an important physiological process” because “important” begins with a vowel sound.

Option 2 corrects both errors:

PIEZO2 plays a critical role along with Piezo1 to regulate an important physiological process for the brain to understand.

This version uses the correct articles and makes the sentence grammatically sound.
