Error Spotting – Identify the part of the sentence that contains a grammatical error (choose exactly one; select “No error” if the sentence is fully correct). Sentence: A) The results of the recognition B) of this fact are seen C) in the gradual improvement D) of the diet of the poor.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: No error.

Explanation:


Introduction:
This problem checks overall clause structure, prepositional harmony, and number agreement. Sometimes the correct choice is recognizing that all segments work fine together.


Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Subject phrase: "The results of the recognition."
  • Linking verb structure: "are seen."
  • Prepositional sequence: "in the gradual improvement of the diet of the poor."


Concept / Approach:
Ensure agreement ("results" with "are"), idiomatic prepositions ("improvement of the diet"), and coherent meaning. The sentence states that recognizing a fact yields observable results manifested in improved diet among the poor.


Step-by-Step Solution:
1) Number agreement: "results" (plural) with "are" is correct.2) "are seen in" is idiomatic when indicating locus of manifestation.3) "gradual improvement of the diet of the poor" is grammatically and semantically sound.4) No modifier is misplaced; the chain of prepositional phrases is coherent.


Verification / Alternative check:
Paraphrase: "Because people recognize this fact, we can see the results in the steady betterment of poor people's diet." This retains meaning and grammar.


Why Other Options Are Wrong:

  • A–D: Each segment is grammatically acceptable and logically connected.


Common Pitfalls:
Overcorrecting idiomatic but valid prepositions; mistaking complex noun phrases for errors.


Final Answer:
Option E (No error)
