Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Our available awareness and restricted.
The error lies in part 3 of the statement because of the use of the verb in place of a noun.
Concept-
- We need to replace "restricted" with "restriction" for making the statement grammatically correct.
- As "available" is an adjective we need to use a noun after it while "restricted" is a verb.
- So we need to use "restriction" at the place of "restricted". This maintains a parallel structure by ensuring both parts are nouns.
The correct sentence will be-
Earth can be considered a cage or prison because our choices are limited to our available awareness and restrictions.
