Why is it that they can develop only a (1)/ certain aspect of there life and not realize (2)/ their full potential? (3)/ No error (4)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Certain aspect of there life and not realise.

The error lies in part 2 of the statement because of the use of adverb in place of pronoun.

Concept-

  • We need to replace "there" with "their" for making the statement grammatically correct.
  • As the possessive case of "they" is "their" we need to change the adverb.
  • So we need to use "their" at the place of "there".

The correct sentence will be-

Why is it that they can develop only a certain aspect of their life and not realise their full potential?
