    Question

    You are presented with a sentence which is divided into

    five parts. The part in bold is grammatically correct. Out of the remaining four parts, three are grammatically incorrect and one is error free. You have to identify the part that is grammatically correct and mark the answer accordingly. If all the parts are grammatically correct then mark 'no error' as your answer. There are far more activities and opportunities (A) / in the world then we have time and resources to (B) / invest in, and although many of them may be (C) / good, or even very good, the fact (D) / is that most are trivial and few are vital (E).
    A C Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C B Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D A Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The comparative "than" should replace the time-focused "then" in part B. The sentence wants to say that there are a lot of activities but we don't have enough time and resources to invest in them. Since part B has the error, option C will be the correct answer.
