Question : Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error. If there is no error, select 'No error.'
An appeasements policies / were all but a sham to misdirect / the local groups.
Option 1: the local groups.
Option 2: were all but a sham to misdirect
Option 3: An appeasements policies
Option 4: No error
Correct Answer: An appeasements policies
Solution : The error lies in the third option.
Explanation:
The term
"
appeasements
"
is incorrect because "appeasement" is a word that doesn't require a plural form when used in this context to modify "policies". The correct form is "appeasement policy," as "appeasement" describes the type of policies being discussed.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be, "The appeasement policies were all but a sham to misdirect the local groups".
