    Question

    The sentence below has four parts (A, B, C, and D). One part has a grammatical error. Identify the part.
    Insulin secretes (A)/ in response to (B)/ rising levels of glucose (C)/ in the blood. (D)

    A.

    in the blood

    B.

    in response to

    C.

    Insulin secretes

    D.

    rising levels of glucose

    Correct option is C

    Option (c) contains the grammatical error.
    Explanation:
    The verb “ secretes” is transitive, which means it must be used with a subject that performs the action, not the hormone itself.
    Correct usage: “Insulin is secreted” (passive voice) because insulin is produced, it doesn’t produce itself.
    Correct sentence:
    Insulin is secreted in response to rising levels of glucose in the blood.
    Grammatical Rule Used:
    Use passive voice when the subject receives the action rather than doing it.
    Example:
    · Incorrect: Glucose produces automatically.
    · Correct: Glucose is produced automatically.
