Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Provides purpose and guidance for our living.

The error lies in part 3 of the statement because of the wrong use of the verb.

Concept-

  • We need to replace 'provides' with 'provide' to make the statement grammatically correct.
  • 'Values and beliefs' requires a plural verb.
  • So we need to use 'provide' at the place of 'provides'.

The correct sentence will be-

Judaism says spirituality is a process of personal transformation, involving values and beliefs that provide purpose and guidance for our living.
