Question
Read the sentence to find out whether there is any
grammatical or idiomatic error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. The letter of that part is the answer. If there is ‘No error’, the answer is (5). (Ignore errors of punctuation, if any). For the state to be seen as (1)/ serious on tackling the crisis, (2)/ it must consistently communicate (3)/ its intent and rise above politics.(4) No error (5)Solution
The phrase serious on tackling the crisis is incorrect. The correct preposition is about instead of on. The correct phrase is serious about tackling the crisis. The preposition "about" is correct with the adjective "serious" because in English, we use "serious about" to indicate a focused attitude or commitment toward addressing or dealing with something. The correct sentence will be: "For the state to be seen as serious about tackling the crisis, it must consistently communicate its intent and rise above politics."
