The sentence below has errors in two parts which are highlighted in bold. Identify the same.
It is impossible to count the number of people who are given, (A) and continue to give, (B) their time, efforts, livelihood, (C) and lives in the fight (D) for injustice.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The sentence has errors in the highlighted parts:
(A) 'who are given' is incorrect. The verb tense is awkward and grammatically inconsistent with the parallel structure required by the coordinating conjunction 'and'. It should be 'who give' or simply 'give' to parallel 'continue to give'.
(D) 'for injustice' is incorrect. People fight against injustice, not for it. The correct preposition is 'against'.
Therefore, the parts with errors are A and D.
Option D correctly identifies A and D as the parts with errors.
