Each item in this section has a sentence with three underlined parts labelled (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), (b) or (c). If you find no error, your response should be indicated as (d).

- AEach student was meant to receive
- Ban equal share of the scholarship but the eventual distribution
- Cwas found to be iniquitous.
- DNo error
Explanation
'Iniquitous' is a genuine word meaning grossly unfair or wicked, and it is used correctly here: the distribution of the scholarship turned out to be unjust despite the intention of equal shares. Part (a) correctly uses 'Each student was', part (b) is a well-formed clause, and part (c) correctly applies 'iniquitous' to the unfair distribution. Since no underlined part contains an error, the answer is (d) No error.
