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).

I am confident of my ability (A)/ to deliver a comprehensive analysis (B)/ that will provide valuable insights (C)/ for informed decision-making. (D)

Correct option is E

The correct answer is (e) No Error.
Explanation:
1. I am confident of my ability (A):
· This part is correct. The phrase "confident of" is appropriately used to express self-assurance about one's ability.
2. To deliver a comprehensive analysis (B):
· This part is also correct. "To deliver" and "comprehensive analysis" are grammatically and contextually appropriate.
3. That will provide valuable insights (C):
· This part is correct. The clause "that will provide valuable insights" is grammatically sound and correctly describes the purpose of the analysis.
4. For informed decision-making (D):
· This part is correct. "For informed decision-making" is a valid phrase indicating the purpose of the insights.
5. No Error (e):
· Since there are no grammatical or contextual errors in any part of the sentence, this is the correct choice.
Correct Sentence:
"I am confident of my ability to deliver a comprehensive analysis that will provide valuable insights for informed decision-making."
Final Answer:
(e) No Error
Additional Information:
The correct phrase is "confident of my ability", not "in my ability" in this context.
Explanation:
1. "Confident of":
· The phrase "confident of" is used to express assurance about something specific or certain, such as a skill, ability, or outcome.
· Example:
· "She is confident of her success in the exam."
· In this sentence: "I am confident of my ability to deliver a comprehensive analysis," the speaker is expressing certainty about their specific ability.
2. "Confident in":
· The phrase "confident in" is typically used when referring to a broader sense of trust or faith in a person, system, or outcome.
· Example:
· "I am confident in the team to meet the deadline." (Here, it reflects faith in the team as a whole.)
· "He is confident in his future." (Here, it reflects trust in broader circumstances.)
Why "confident of" is correct here:
The sentence refers to a specific ability of the speaker (to deliver a comprehensive analysis), not a general sense of trust or faith. Therefore, "confident of my ability" is the grammatically and contextually correct choice.
Correct Sentence:
"I am confident of my ability to deliver a comprehensive analysis that will provide valuable insights for informed decision-making."
If you meant to express general faith in your abilities as a whole, "confident in my abilities" (plural) could also be correct in a different context.
