The following sentence has been divided into four segments. Identify the segment in which the article has been used INCORRECTLY.
In the recent past, the IT industry has emerged / as a major contributor to an industry revenue / as well as employment / opportunity provider in the country.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. as a major contributor to an industry revenue.
The use of "an" before "industry revenue" is incorrect because "industry revenue" refers to a specific concept or total revenue of the industry, requiring the definite article "the".
The corrected sentence is:
"In the recent past, the IT industry has emerged as a major contributor to the industry revenue as well as employment opportunity provider in the country."
