    Question


    The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
    The soldiers / were selected / on the section / of ‘gallantry of spirits’.

    The soldiers

    B.

    were selected

    C.

    of ‘gallantry of spirits’.

    D.

    on the section

    Correct option is D


    Explanation:
    · The phrase "on the section" is incorrect.
    · The correct preposition should be "for" when specifying the reason or basis for selection.
    · Also, "section" should be replaced by "basis" or "criterion" to suit the formal tone.
