The following sentence has been divided into parts. One of them contains an error. Select the part that contains the error from the given options.

Lack of required / vitamins and minerals / lead against / several complications / in the human body.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. lead against.

  • The error lies in option 1 because of the wrong use of "preposition".
  • We need to replace "against" with 'to' to make the statement grammatically correct.

Grammatical concept:-

  • The correct preposition to be used is 'to'.
  • If an action or event leads to something, it makes that thing happen or exist.
  • By using lead to we will see the reason what happens due to the lack of vitamins.

Hence, error lies in option 1, so it is correct.
