Question and options
Identify the erroneous part of the following sentence:
The Indian government has decided to strengthen the state's capacity to move away from a already obsolete "one-size-fits-all" approach and to introduce specific solutions to regional issues.
The Indian government has decided to strengthen the state's capacity to move away from a already obsolete "one-size-fits-all" approach and to introduce specific solutions to regional issues.
- The Indian government has decided to strengthen
- the state's capacity to move away from
- a already obsolete "one-size-fits-all" approach
- and to introduce specific solutions to regional issues.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C - a already obsolete "one-size-fits-all" approach
‘Already’ begins with a vowel sound, so the article must be ‘an’: ‘an already obsolete approach’. The other parts are grammatical; ‘the state’s capacity to move away from’ and ‘to introduce specific solutions’ are parallel infinitive uses after ‘decided’ and ‘capacity’.
