Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

The recent election campaign (a)/ has been one of (b)/ the most noisiest campaigns (c)/ in the last decade. (d)

Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

Caricature, a type (a)/ of exaggeration (b)/ is common (c)/ used in political cartoons. (d)

The word used before the verb ‘used’ will be an adverb not a noun, thus the correct use will be ‘commonly’ and not ‘common’.

Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

In emerging economies, (a)/ the private credit market (b)/ remains highly segmented and thus (c)/ weaken power of monetary policy. (d)

It should be ‘weakens’ in place of ‘weaken’ in the fourth part of the sentence because the subject ‘the private credit market’ in singular. Also the preceding verb ‘remains’ is singular.

Six women achievers who continue (a)/ to inspire the younger lot, were honoured (b)/ with their contributions in their chosen fields (c)/ on the occasion of women’s day. (d)

It should be ‘for’ in place of ‘with’ in the third part of the sentence.

Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

All Indians know that they are (a)/ superior in all respects not only to (b)/ those unfortunately beings called foreigners, but (c)/ also that they are superior to all other Indians. (d)

The use of ‘beings’ in the third part of the sentence is unnecessary. It should be deleted.

Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

An anti-terrorism cell is opened (a)/ by the town police (b)/ three months ago (c)/ as a precautionary measure. (d)

It should be ‘was’ in place of ‘is’ in the first part of the sentence because the sentence is in past tense.

Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

Results founding that boys not only (a)/ play more than girls, but (b)/ they start earlier, an outcome that (c)/ could be clearly related to a cultural influence. (d)

it should be ‘the’ in place of ‘a’ in the fourth part of the sentence.

Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

With regard to implementation, the (a)/ details of the proposal (b)/ the committee was (c)/ divided in its opinion. (d)

Replace ‘was’ with ‘were’.In collective nouns (committee, audience, government, etc) we use singular if referring to an entity.'Committee' is used as a plural noun here, since each one has a different opinion.
