English Grammar — Spot the error (choose the incorrect part; select 'No error' if the sentence is correct). Sentence parts: A) Our system of assigning B) different jobs to different people C) should be based on D) their strengths and weaknesses. E) No error

Introduction / Context:This sentence tests parallel structure and correct prepositional phrasing with “based on,” as well as agreement between a complex noun phrase and its complement.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Head noun phrase: “Our system of assigning …”
• Prepositional complement: “based on their strengths and weaknesses.”
• No discordant tense or number markers appear.

Concept / Approach:“System of assigning” takes a prepositional complement beginning with “based on.” The phrase “their strengths and weaknesses” is a balanced, plural compound matching “different jobs to different people.”

Step-by-Step Solution:

Verification / Alternative check:Replace with a synonymous structure: “should rely on their strengths and weaknesses.” The meaning remains coherent, confirming correctness.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:

• A, B, C, D each read naturally without grammar errors in standard English.
• E is correct because the sentence contains no error.

Common Pitfalls:Some learners suspect “based on” as a dangling modifier. Here, it clearly links to “system,” so there is no dangling issue. Likewise, “their” refers back to “different people.”

Final Answer:E) No error
