- A(a)
- B(b)
- C(c)
- D(d) No error
Explanation
The error is in part (b): the construction is ‘one of the most...’ — the definite article ‘the’ is mandatory before the superlative: ‘one of the most eloquent speeches’. Omitting ‘the’ is ungrammatical. Parts (a) and (c) are correct. Hence the error is in (b).
