Each item in this section has a sentence with three underlined parts, labelled as (a), (b) and (c).

If you find no error, your response should be indicated as (d).

- A(a)
- B(b)
- C(c)
- D(d)
Explanation
Part (b) says 'much required courses' - but 'much' modifies uncountable nouns, while 'courses' is countable and plural. The correct quantifier is 'many': 'many required courses'. Hence the error is in (b), option B.
