Question : Directions: In the following question, some parts of the sentence may have some errors. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and select the appropriate option. If the sentence is free from error, select "No Error".
The way to increase the production of the food (1) / is to bring more land (2) / under cultivation. (3) / No Error (4)
Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (1)
Solution : The error lies in the first part of the sentence.
In this context, "food" is used as an uncountable noun, so it does not need the article "the" before it. Thus, the correct sentence should not have the article "the" before "food" to make it grammatically correct. When we refer to general ideas, the definite article is not used with uncountable nouns.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "The way to increase the production of food is to bring more land under cultivation."
