Forecasts suggest (A)/ significance rental (B)/cost increase (C)/ in Europe (D)/ No Error (E)
Question

Read the 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 the answer response. (Ignore errors of punctuation, if any).


Forecasts suggest (A)/ significance rental (B)/cost increase (C)/ in Europe (D)/ No Error (E)

A.

D

B.

B

C.

No Error

D.

A

E.

C

Correct option is B

The correct answer is (B).

Lines to refer: "Forecasts suggest (A)/ significance rental (B) / cost increase (C) / in Europe (D)"

Explanation: The error lies in part (B) of the sentence. The word "significance" is a noun, but it is being used to modify the noun phrase "rental cost increase." In English grammar, you must use an adjective to modify a noun. Therefore, "significance" should be replaced with the adjective "significant."

The corrected sentence should read: "Forecasts suggest significant rental cost increase in Europe."

Analysis of other options:

  • (A) Forecasts suggest: This part is correct. "Forecasts" (plural noun) agrees with the verb "suggest" (plural verb).
  • (C) cost increase: This is a standard noun phrase acting as the subject of what is being suggested.
  • (D) in Europe: This is a correct prepositional phrase indicating the location.
  • (E) No Error: This is incorrect because the grammatical error in part (B) is a clear violation of adjective-noun agreement rules.
