Question

The following sentence has been divided into parts. One of them may contain an error. Select the part that contains the error from the given options.

In the recently concluded Paris Climate Agreement, / India will agree to reduce / its carbon emission intensity / by one-third from the 2005 levels.

A.

In the recently concluded Paris Climate Agreement

B.

by one-third from the 2005 levels

C.

India will agree to reduce

D.

its carbon emission intensity

Correct option is C

Option (c) contains an error.

Error: "India will agree" is incorrect in this context. The agreement has already been concluded, so future tense "will agree" should be changed to past tense.
Correction: "India agreed to reduce"

Grammatical rule used:
Tense consistency — when referring to an event in the past (like a concluded agreement), the verbs used must also be in past tense.
Example:
Incorrect: He will agree to the terms that were finalized yesterday.
Correct: He agreed to the terms that were finalized yesterday.
