Correct Answer: 3


Solution : The error in this sentence is in part (R) marked by the third option.

Explanation: The subject "investment" is singular, so the verb "have" should be replaced with its singular form "has". Investment is a singular subject, so the verb "has" should agree with it in number.

So, the correct sentence would be: "The report is candid in admitting that the investment by the Government in health and family has eroded considerably."
