    The sentence below is divided into five segments.

    Select the option that has an error, if any.  A government elected by the people(A) / that provides benefits (B)/ bottom down to people is (C)/not a complete democracy(D) / No error (E).
    A A Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B B Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C C Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The error in the original sentence is in part C. The phrase “bottom down to people” is grammatically incorrect. It should be replaced with “from top down to people” to correctly convey the idea that the government provides benefits starting from the top and reaching down to the people.
