Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Part of getting educate as the actions and decisions.

The error lies in part 2 of the statement because of the wrong use of the verb.

Concept-

  • We need to replace 'educate' with 'educated' to make the statement grammatically correct.
  • 'Get' always takes the third form of verb after it.
  • So we need to use 'educated' at the place of 'educate'.

The correct sentence will be-

Good role models in classrooms and in communities are the most important part of getting educated as the actions and decisions of role models impact the behaviour of others.
