Read each sentence to find out whether there is any grammatical or idiomatic error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. The corresponding letter of that part is the answer. If the given sentence is correct as it is, then choose option ‘No error’ as your answer response. (Ignore errors of punctuation, if any).

A Ramsar site is a (A)/ wetland designated to (B)/ be of international importance (C)/ over an environmental Treaty. (D)

Correct option is D

The incorrect part is (D).

Detailed Analysis

• The Error: "...over an environmental Treaty."
• The Rule: This is a prepositional error. When referring to something established or governed by a formal legal agreement or treaty, the correct preposition is "under."
• Under: Used to indicate being subject to the authority, rules, or conditions of a document (e.g., under the law, under the contract, under the treaty).
• The Correction: Change "over" to "under."
• Corrected Sentence: A Ramsar site is a wetland designated to be of international importance under an environmental Treaty.

Breakdown of Other Parts

• (A) A Ramsar site is a: Correct. "A" matches the singular "Ramsar site."
• (B) wetland designated to: Correct. "Designated" is the past participle used to describe the wetland, and "to" begins the infinitive of purpose.
• (C) be of international importance: Correct. "Of [noun] importance" is a standard idiomatic construction.
