    Question

    The given sentence is divided into four parts. Read the

    given sentence to find out whether there are any grammatical/contextual errors in it. The error if any will be in two parts of the sentence. Select the option which includes those parts from the sentence. If no part in the sentence has an error, then mark 'no error' as your answer. The field-work based approach that the economists (A) / have perfected have revolutionised the (B) / field of development economics and (C) / made it relevantly more in policy making (D).
    A AC Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B BD Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C BC Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D CD Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The error is in part 'B' and 'D' of the sentence. In part 'B' use of 'have'(plural auxiliary verb) is incorrect and needs to be replaced by singular auxiliary verb 'has'( in 'have revolutionised') as the sentence talks about a single approach. In option 'D' use of 'relevantly more' is contextually incorrect and needs to be replaced by 'more relevant' which suggests that field-work based approach has made economics more relevant in policy making. Hence, the answer is option b).
