    E E Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The sentence starts with "Despite significant medical advancements", which is in the present context. However, "remained" is in the past tense, which creates a tense inconsistency. To maintain consistency, "remained" should be replaced with "remains" (present tense).Corrected Sentence:"Despite significant medical advancements, detecting TB remains a major challenge, particularly in remote and underserved populations."
