    Question

    The following sentence may have an error of article. Choose the correct sentence from the given options. The festivals are celebrated everywhere to rejuvenate the minds of people.

    A.

    Festivals are celebrated everywhere to rejuvenate the minds of people.

    B.

    An festivals are celebrated everywhere to rejuvenate the minds of people.

    C.

    No error

    D.

    The festivals are celebrated everywhere to rejuvenate minds of people.

    Correct option is A

    The correct answer is option (a) Festivals are celebrated everywhere to rejuvenate the minds of people.
    · Explanation: The definite article "The" before "festivals" in the original sentence is unnecessary because the sentence is referring to festivals in a general sense, not specific festivals.
    · Removing "The" makes the sentence grammatically and contextually correct.
    · Grammatical Rule: Articles are not used before plural nouns when referring to them in a general or unspecific way.
    Other options are incorrect because:
    · (b) An festivals: Incorrect because "An" is used before words beginning with a vowel sound, and "festivals" is plural, making it grammatically wrong.
    · (c) No error: Incorrect because there is indeed an error with the unnecessary use of the article "The."
    · (d) The festivals are celebrated everywhere to rejuvenate minds of people: Incorrect because omitting "the" before "minds of people" makes the sentence awkward and incomplete.
    Thus, the correct and precise sentence is "Festivals are celebrated everywhere to rejuvenate the minds of people."
