UNICEF builds partnerships across the global community on accelerate gender equality.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. global community to accelerate.
The error lies in the use of the preposition "on".
The preposition "on" is typically used to indicate something that is the subject or focus of attention. (For example, "She is working on a project")
However, in the sentence, the action is about achieving a goal (gender equality), not simply focusing on it.
The preposition "to" is used to show purpose or goal. In this case, UNICEF is building partnerships for the purpose of accelerating gender equality.
"To", is used to clearly communicate that the action (building partnerships) is aimed at achieving something (accelerating gender equality).
