    Question

    The sentence below has four parts (A, B, C, and D). One part has a grammatical error. Identify the part.
    The same set of the facts (A)/ can be tailored (B)/ to fit any (C)/ preconceived belief. (D)

    A.

    can be tailored

    B.

    to fit any

    C.

    The same set of the facts

    D.

    preconceived belief

    Correct option is C

    Option (c) contains an error.
    The phrase "the same set of the facts" is incorrect because "set of" already implies a group. The article “the” before “facts” is unnecessary. The correct phrase is: "the same set of facts".
    Grammatical rule used:
    When using the construction "a set of + plural noun", no article is needed before the plural noun.
    Correct sentence:
    The same set of facts can be tailored to fit any preconceived belief.
    Example:
    Incorrect: A bunch of the keys
    Correct: A bunch of keys
