B.

C.

went on to became an important line of

D.

is went on to become an important line of

E.

No correction required

Correct option is A

Correct answer: (A) went on to become an important line of

Original sentence

The digital marketplace went on to become an importance line of business for the smartphone maker.

Why the highlighted part is incorrect

The highlighted part is “an importance line of”.

The error is in the word “importance”.

Reason:

Importance is a noun, while the sentence needs an adjective to describe the noun “line.”

Here, we need an adjective before “line of business.”

Correct adjective: important

Wrong:
an importance line

Correct:
an important line

Example:

She plays an important role in the company.

Here, important correctly describes the noun role.

Same rule applies here.

Correct sentence

The digital marketplace went on to become an important line of business for the smartphone maker.

Example

Online sales became an important source of income for the company.

Option Analysis

(A) went on to become an important line of

Correct

“Important” is the correct adjective needed before “line.”

The sentence becomes grammatically correct and meaningful.

(B) did went on to become an important line of

Incorrect

After did, we use the base form of the verb.

Wrong:
did went

Correct:
did go

So this structure is grammatically wrong.

(C) went on to became an important line of

Incorrect

After to, we use the base form of the verb.

Wrong:
to became

Correct:
to become

So this option is incorrect.

(D) is went on to become an important line of

Incorrect

“is went” is grammatically incorrect because two tense forms are wrongly combined.

This structure is not valid.

(E) No correction required

Incorrect

The original sentence contains the error “importance” instead of “important,” so correction is required.

Final Answer: (A) went on to become an important line of
