    Question

    In the following question, three sentences are given, revolving around the same theme or idea. Decide which of the sentences are grammatically and meaningfully correct and mark the question accordingly.

    1. Agriculture in Mexico had been a socio-political

    issue, a key factor in some regions' participation in the Mexican Revolution. 2. It was also a technical issue, enabled by a cohort of trained agronomists, who were to advice peasants how to increase productivity. 3. In the post-World War II era, the government sought development in agriculture that bettered technological aspects of agriculture in regions that were not dominated by small-scale peasant cultivators.
    A Only 1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only 1 and 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only 1 and 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only 2 and 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E All 1, 2 and 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    (c) is the right answer as only 1 and 3 are grammatically correct and meaningful. In 2 replace TO ADVICE with TO ADVISE since a verb should follow after the preposition "to". Advice is a noun which is incorrect in current context and verb "advise" should be used instead to make 3 correct.
