Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. posed innumerable challenges to our education system, and engineering education was no exception.
- The original sentence contains a grammatical error. The verb "pose" should agree in tense with the subject "pandemic."

- This correction ensures proper tense agreement and makes the sentence grammatically accurate and meaningful.
