• C. much attention
• D. of the police offers
• E. No Error

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

The names record

The names have already been 'recorded' otherwise they won't have received any attention. So, the correct phrase would be 'the names recorded'. Thus, the error is in part A. There is no error in parts B, C and D. The correct answer cannot be E because the sentence contains an error.
