Though the overall figure of PHCs without electricity supply (5 per cent) may appear to be low, what is of concern is that these PHCs are concentrated in a handful of states-mostly those with poor rural health infrastructure. A-The correct preposition used here should be ‘of’ instead of ‘for’. ‘Of’ refers to belonging to, connected with. ‘The figure belongs to PHCs’. B-Certain auxillary verbs such as can/ may must be followed by base form of verb. Hence, ‘may appear to be’ is correct instead of ‘may appearing to be’. D-The article ‘a’ should be used before ‘handful’ as the PHCs are concentrated in a small amount of states, i.e., ‘a handful of states’.
