The process of decolonization, who started from our own independence era, remains unfinished even after seven decades.

- that starts from
- No Improvement
Option 1: 1
Option 2: 2
Option 3: 3
Option 4: 4
Correct Answer: 2
Solution : The correct choice is the second option.
Explanation : The pronoun "who" is a relative pronoun used for human beings, while 'that' is used for both living and non-living nouns, but here it refers to the term "decolonization". The process began in the past, so it should be "started", not "start".
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "The process of decolonization, that started from our own independence era, remains unfinished even after seven decades."
