Find the part of the sentence that contains an error: The regulator's decision to postpone the implementation (1)/ was attributed partly to industry pressure (2)/ and partly due to legal ambiguity (3)/ surrounding the recent amendments. (4)

A(1)

B(2)

C(3)

D(4)

Answer:

C. (3)

Read Explanation:

• This is a parallel structure error. Part (2) uses "partly to...", so part (3) must match that structure. • Instead of "partly due to," it should read "and partly to legal ambiguity" to perfectly balance out the partly to... and partly to... phrasing.
