Question

Find the part of the sentence that contains an error:

The investigation's findings, alarming in both scope and content, (1)/ prompted responses not just from the agencies concerned (2)/but also from the auditors who report they (3)/ were never granted access to critical records. (4)

• A. (1)
• B. (2)
• C. (3)
• D. (4)

Answer 1

Answer:

C. (3)

• The error is in part 3. The pronoun "they" is a subjective pronoun, but it is acting as the object of the verb "report". • It should be changed to the objective pronoun them ("the auditors who report them").
