Correct Answer: deaf on the protests and


Solution : The error lies in the fourth option .

There is an error in the use of the preposition in the sentence, as "on" should be replaced with "to" to make the sentence grammatically accurate. This helps convey the idea that the government's lack of response was directed towards the protest, which indicates a disregard for the concerns being avoided.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: The Government was deaf to the protests and continued with its plan.
