Each item in this section has a sentence with three underlined parts labelled as (a), (b) and (c). Read each sentence to find out whether there is any error in any underlined part and indicate your response on the answer sheet against the corresponding letter, i.e., (a) or (b) or (c). If you find no error, your response should be indicated as (d).

- ALooking ahead, the university
- Bis expunging revenue generation
- Copportunities to add more facilities for students and staff.
- DNo error
Explanation
Part (b) contains the error through wrong word choice. The sentence discusses the university looking ahead to generate revenue for adding facilities, but 'expunging' means 'removing or erasing', which contradicts the intended meaning. The correct word should be 'expanding' (increasing) revenue generation opportunities. Parts (a) and (c) are grammatically correct. The error is in part (b), so option B is the answer.
