Question

Due to limited experience, many business executives and researchers have ambiguity about the nature of the research problems and its objectives.

In the following two statements, identify the part that contains the same type of error as in the sentence above. If none of the parts contain a similar error, select option (E).

(I) The employees must work in close (A) / coordination with each other (B) / and try its best level (C) / to achieve the organization’s goals. (D)

(II) Inappropriate training for researchers (A) can lead to the misapprehension (B) / of questions to be asked (C) / for data collection during the survey. (D)

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The original sentence has an error related to the incorrect use of the word "ambiguity" with "have" and the phrase "its objectives" which should be "their objectives" to agree with the plural subject.

2. In statement (I), part (C) "and try its best level" is incorrect because "its" does not agree with the plural subject "employees" and the phrase "best level" is awkward and incorrect. The correct phrase should be "their best" or "their best efforts."

3. This error is similar to the original sentence's error in subject-pronoun agreement and awkward phrasing.

4. Other parts do not contain this type of error:
   - (I) A, B, D are correct.
   - (II) A, B, C, D are grammatically correct.

**Answer:** (b) I - C
