    In the following question, some parts of the sentence may have errors. Select the option that has the error. If the sentence has no error, then select 'No Error'.
    The number of people on the planet still poses to a significant challenge for the countries struggling to provide a basic standard of living for everyone.

    A.

    still poses to a significant challenge for the countries

    B.

    No Error

    C.

    struggling to provide a basic standard of living for everyone.

    D.

    The number of people on the planet

    Correct option is A

    Option (a) contains an error.
    The phrase "poses to a significant challenge" is incorrect because the verb "pose" does not take a preposition "to" when followed by a noun object. It should be simply "poses a significant challenge".
    Correct sentence: The number of people on the planet still poses a significant challenge for the countries struggling to provide a basic standard of living for everyone.
    Grammatical rule used:
    Certain transitive verbs like “pose” do not require a preposition before their object.
    Example: The issue poses a threat. (NOT “poses to a threat”)
    Information Booster:
    Verbs like “discuss,” “resemble,” “request,” “approach,” and “pose” do not take prepositions before the object.
