Question

The sentence has four underlined words or phrases. Choose the word or phrase that must be changed for the sentence to be correct.

While a strong defend is important to any country, it cannot be more important than the livelihood of its citizens.

• A. While
• B. defend
• C. livelihood
• D. its

Answer 1

The correct option is B defend

Out of the four underlined words,'defend' word is incorrectly used. Defend is a verb. There is no action being performed in the sentence. Instead of defend, 'defence' should be used since sentence speaks about the noun - Defence.

So the sentence would become - While a strong defence is important to any country, it cannot be more important than the livelihood of its citizens. Hence, option B is correct as it contains the incorrect part of the sentence.
