Read the sentence to find out whether there is an error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. The number corresponding to that part will be your answer. If the given sentence is correct as it is, mark the answer as ‘No error’. Ignore the errors of punctuation, if any.
Leaders do value inquisitive (1)/ minds, but he often stifle (2)/ curiosity, fearing it will (3)/ increase risk and inefficiency. (4)

Options

A. 1
B. 2
C. 3
D. 4

Answer

B

Explanation

The error is in the second part of the sentence.
We need to replace .he. with .they.. The antecedent being referred to by the pronoun is ‘leaders’ which is a plural noun. So, the use of singular pronoun ‘he’ will be incorrect.
So, the correct answer is option B.
