    Question

    In the question given below, a sentence is given,

    divided into parts. One of the parts may contain an error. Identify the part that contains the error, and mark it as the answer. Ignore errors of punctuation. In case the sentence is correct as it is, mark option (5), that is, 'No error'. Interplanetary contamination refers to a scenario into which a spacecraft carries biological material from one planetary object to another.
    A Interplanetary contamination refers to a Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B scenario into which a spacecraft Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C carries biological material from Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D one planetary object to another. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    In (2), replace the preposition "into" with "in." The phrase "a scenario in which" is the correct usage because "scenario" describes a situation or condition, not movement or direction. "Into" implies movement towards something, which does not fit here.The sentence would then read:"Interplanetary contamination refers to a scenario in which a spacecraft carries biological material from one planetary object to another."Therefore, (2) is the right answer.
