Question

Each sentence is divided into four parts, which may or may not contain an error. Identify the part that has the error.

Contentious cases are sometimes escalate (A) / to a federal appellate court, which can (B) / issue rulings that set precedents (C) / for other courts within its jurisdiction (D).

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The sentence part (A) reads: "Contentious cases are sometimes escalate".

2. The verb phrase "are sometimes escalate" is grammatically incorrect because "are" (a form of "to be") should be followed by a past participle to form the passive voice, or the verb should be in the correct form for active voice.

3. The correct form should be "are sometimes escalated" to indicate the passive voice.

4. Parts (B), (C), and (D) are grammatically correct and convey the intended meaning properly.

**Answer:** (a)
