Answer 1

Option B): 'It was difficult to break the news to management, but the data did not support the proposal.' contains no errors.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for a sentence to be grammatically correct, the subject and verb must both be singular or plural.

Among the given sentences, the sentence that contains NO errors is: It was difficult to break the news to management, but the data did not support the proposal.

This sentence is correctly constructed grammatically; it doesn't contain any spelling errors or issues with subject-verb agreement, unlike the other options.

The other sentences contain the following errors:

• A. A independent commission should be an independent commission because 'independent' begins with a vowel sound, so 'an' is the correct article to use.
• C. The new office harrassment policy should be the new office harassment policy; 'harassment' is the correct spelling of the word.
• D. Efficiancy should be spelled as efficiency.
