The following sentence has been divided into four segments. Identify the segment in which the article has been used INCORRECTLY.
UNESCO works to / strengthen an intellectual / and moral solidarity / of humankind.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. strengthen an intellectual.
- The word "solidarity" is an abstract, uncountable noun in this context, so it does not require an indefinite article "an."
- The correct article to use with "solidarity" is the definite article "the," which refers to a specific concept of solidarity that UNESCO is working to strengthen.
Thus, the sentence should use "the" instead of "an" before "intellectual and moral solidarity."
Hence, the correct sentence is:- "UNESCO works to strengthen the intellectual and moral solidarity of humankind."
