Directions : Each item in this section has a sentence with three underlined parts labelled (a), (b) and (c). Read each sentence to determine whether there is an error in any underlined part and indicate your response on the answer sheet against the above-mentioned corresponding letter. If there is no error, indicate your response as (d).
**These shoes designed**/ **for regular runners**/ **like yourself.**/ **No error.**
- AThese shoes designed
- Bfor regular runners
- Clike yourself.
- DNo error.
Explanation
The error is in part (a). The string “These shoes designed for regular runners” has no finite verb — “designed” is a dangling past participle, so the clause needs the copula: “These shoes are designed for regular runners.” A sentence cannot stand without a finite verb, and (a) is where that verb is missing. Parts (b) and (c) are acceptable as written, so (a) is the designated error.
