Question

    In the following question, a sentence is given, divided

    into four parts (A), (B), (C) and (D). The error, if any, will only be in TWO PHRASES/PARTS of the sentence. The combination of those parts is the answer. If no part in the sentence has an error, then mark 'No error' as your answer. Ignore errors of punctuations, if any. Corporate governance have become a topic of broad public (A)/ interesting as the power of institutional investors has increased (B)/ and the impact of corporations on society has grown, yet ideas (C)/ about how corporations should be governed vary widely (D).
    A AB Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B AD Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C CD Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D BC Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The errors are in (A) & (B). In part (A), the use of auxiliary verb 'have' is incorrect; the noun 'governance' is an abstract noun and hence, treated as singular and hence, the auxiliary verb 'has' should be used here instead. In part (B), the use of adjective 'interesting' is incorrect as the phrase "broad public interesting" renders the sentence meaningless; the noun 'interest' should be use here instead. Hence, option (a) is the correct answer.
