    Question

    The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
    "Though the / global financial crisis, / China's economy continues / to grow at an impressive rate."

    A.

    to grow at an impressive rate.

    B.

    china's economy continues

    C.

    Though the

    D.

    global financial crisis,

    Correct option is C


    Explanation of the Correct Answer: · The conjunction "Though" introduces a contrast statement and must be followed by a complete clause (subject + verb).
    · Here, "Though the global financial crisis" is incomplete because it lacks a verb.
    · The correct phrase should be "Though there was a global financial crisis, China's economy continues to grow."
    Why Are the Other Options Incorrect? · (a) "to grow at an impressive rate." → Correct phrase; no grammatical error.
    · (b) "china's economy continues" → Incorrect only in capitalization, but grammatically fine.
    · (d) "global financial crisis," → Correct phrase.
    Thus, the error is in option (c) "Though the", as it lacks a verb to form a complete thought.
