English grammar – Spot the error (choose the part with an error or “No error”). Sentence: He has been undergoing / the special training course / which each of the employees / is required to.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: is required to.

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
This question tests complement requirements after verbs like “require.” The sentence is split into parts; pick the segment with the error.



Given Data / Assumptions:

  • “Require” followed by “to” must take a bare infinitive verb (e.g., “to attend”).
  • The sentence describes an ongoing course.


Concept / Approach:
“Is required to” is incomplete without a following verb. It needs an infinitival complement such as “undergo,” “attend,” or “complete.”



Step-by-Step Solution:

A: “He has been undergoing” — correct present perfect progressive.B: “the special training course” — correct noun phrase.C: “which each of the employees” — correct relative-clause beginning; number agreement okay (“each … is”).D: “is required to.” — erroneous because it lacks the infinitive verb; should be “is required to undergo” or “is required to attend.”


Verification / Alternative check:

Corrected version: “He has been undergoing the special training course which each of the employees is required to undergo.”


Why Other Options Are Wrong:

A, B, and C are structurally fine; only D is incomplete.


Common Pitfalls:

Stopping a “to”-infinitive after “required” without the main verb.


Final Answer:
is required to.
