Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Much believe that if you are modern you.
- The error lies in part 1 of the statement because of the wrong use of the adjective.
Concept-
- We need to replace "much" with "many" for making the statement grammatically correct.
- As the adjective is being used for people which is the countable noun we need to use an adjective which describes people. "Much" is used for uncountable noun while "many" is used for countable nouns.
- So we need to use "many" at the place of "much".
The correct sentence will be-
Many believe that if you are modern you should not be religious, and vice-versa, can't spirituality and modernity coexist?
