The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
The soldiers / were selected / on the section / of ‘gallantry of spirits’.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. on the section.
The phrase "on the section" is incorrect.
The correct preposition should be "in the section" or "on the basis of" depending on the context.
"On the section" does not fit grammatically.
The sentence is about selection criteria, so a phrase like "on the basis of" or "in the section of" would be correct.
Corrected Sentence: The soldiers were selected in the section of ‘gallantry of spirits’.
