Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. In 2005 to 181 million connections now is very impressed.

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

Concept-

  • We need to replace "impressed" with "impressive" for making the statement grammatically correct.
  • As the adverb takes an adjective after it we need to use an adjective. "Impressed" is also an adjective but it is used in passive sense.
  • So we need to use "impressive" at the place of "impressed".

The correct sentence will be-

The growth in India is amazing, the growth from 140 million connections in 2005 to 181 million connections now is very impressive.
