Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. A courage gives
Error Concept: Incorrect use of article with an uncountable noun.
What is wrong: The noun “courage” is an uncountable noun, and we do not use “a” before uncountable nouns.
Grammar Concept:
Uncountable nouns like courage, information, advice, knowledge cannot be used with “a” or “an” because they do not have a plural form and cannot be counted individually.
Incorrectness of the concept in context: Using “a” before “courage” is grammatically incorrect. We should say “Courage gives” without the article.
Correction: Remove “a” from the phrase.
Corrected phrase: Courage gives
Final sentence: Courage gives enormous strength to people to fight for what they want.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
