Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. for scratching of whole areas.
In the above part of the sentence, 'of' should be replaced with 'the' to eliminate grammatical error.
The phrase "for scratching of whole areas" is incorrect because the word "scratching" should not be followed by "of" in this context. The correct phrasing would be: ' is for scratching whole areas.'
Here, "scratching" functions as a gerund (a verb acting as a noun), and it directly takes the object "whole areas" without the preposition "of."
