Solution

The correct option is E A
On reading the sentence, we realise that the pronouns used in it are 'your' and 'you', both of which are second person pronouns. So, the beginning of the sentence does not fit in with the same second person reference as it uses 'If one reads' where 'one' is used to refer to a general theory or rule and not in a second person reference. Therefore, part [A] of the sentence contains a mistake and so option A) A is the correct answer.
