Concept/Grammar rules |

In the underlined part, the article ‘a’ is used before ‘responsibility’ which is wrong as ‘responsibility is an uncountable noun. Also, there is the wrong usage of the preposition 'to' which is used to indicate the place, person, or thing that someone or something moves toward, or the direction of something. This should be replaced with 'of' which shows belongingness. |
‘The’ will be used in place of article ‘a’. Also ‘of’ will be used in place of the preposition ‘to’. So, the phrase ‘with a responsibility to marketing’ will be replaced with ‘with the responsibility of marketing’. Hence, the chosen option is correct. |
