Question

[B] today than it ever did in the past
[C] because more people live near industrial units
[D] and inhale noxious gases from the atmosphere

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. D
• E. No Error

Answer 1

The correct option is A A

The sentence talks about the prevalence of pollution. However, since the sentence is talking about how pollution impacts people today, the correct word to use is 'affects' and not 'effects. 'Affect' is the cause and 'effect' is the result.

Therefore, the incorrect part of the given sentence is [A] and the correct option is (A).
