Correct Answer: (2)


Solution : The error lies in the second part of the sentence.

The preposition about will replace around. The phrasal verb bring about means to cause something to happen whereas bring around means to take a certain course of action.

The intended meaning of the sentence is that the committee doesn't want to bring any change to the basic structure.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: The committee is thinking not to bring about any change in the basic structure.
