English grammar — Spot the error (choose the segment that contains a grammatical error; choose ‘‘No error.’’ if the sentence is correct). Sentence: In my opinion the balance sheet exhibits a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the bank.

Introduction / Context:This sentence mirrors the standard auditor’s formulation: “a true and fair view.” The task is to identify any grammatical or usage error among the segments or confirm that none exists.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• “In my opinion” is a conventional hedge in professional statements.
• “Exhibits” is an acceptable reporting verb for documents and reports.
• “A true and fair view of the state of affairs of the bank” is established, idiomatic professional phrasing.

Concept / Approach:Check for article usage, noun–verb agreement, and prepositional structure. All are standard here.

Step-by-Step Solution:

Verification / Alternative check:Alternative verbs like “presents” or “shows” would also be correct; however, “exhibits” is not incorrect.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:

• No segment (A–D) contains a grammatical or idiomatic error for standard business English.

Common Pitfalls:Overediting fixed professional collocations. The phrase “true and fair view” is an established term of art in auditing.

Final Answer:No error.
