Question

Two studies published in (A)/ international journals have /found a worrying link among (B)/ air pollution levels and (C)/ the incidence of type 2 diabetes in Chennai and Delhi. (D)

Identify the part containing the grammatical or idiomatic error. If there is no error, select (e) No error.

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The error is in part (B) where the phrase "link among" is used.

2. The word "among" is generally used when referring to relationships involving three or more entities.

3. In this sentence, the link is between two specific entities: "air pollution levels" and "the incidence of type 2 diabetes".

4. Therefore, the correct preposition should be "between" instead of "among" to indicate a relationship involving two distinct things.

5. The corrected phrase should be "found a worrying link between air pollution levels and the incidence of type 2 diabetes."

**Answer:** (b) B
