Question : The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error, and select the option which rectifies that error.

A lot of adulterants / are chemicals that can lead / to an range of health problems / in both children and adults.

Option 1: A lot of adulterants

Option 2: are chemicals that can lead

Option 3: in both children and adults.

Option 4: to a range of health problems

Team Careers360 · Accepted Answer

Correct Answer: to a range of health problems

Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

The error lies in the use of the article "an" before the word "range". In this case, "range" begins with a consonant sound. So, it requires the article "a" instead of "an" based on the use of articles.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: A lot of adulterants are chemicals that can lead to a range of health problems in both children and adults.
