Answer 1

The error in the sentence is in the word 'option', which should be plural to match the context of the sentence. The correct form is 'options'. The correct answer is option D) Error-option, correction- options.

Step-by-step explanation:

To identify the error and provide the correction in the sentence from a news report, we need to consider the subject-verb agreement and noun plurality. The sentence is 'These exams open doors to higher education, improve employment opportunities and increase option.' The word in question is 'option', which should be plural to match the plurality of the benefits described in the sentence.

The correct option is therefore:

• Option D
• Error: option
• Correction: options
