Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → (C) and (D) Only
After one of the, the noun must be plural, because one thing is picked out from a group of several. The last part must also make sense: books are published in recent times, not "to good recent tunes".
(A) Magic realism is one — No error.
- The singular subject "Magic realism" takes the singular verb "is".
(B) of the latest — No error.
- "One of the latest" is the right start of the phrase.
(C) addition to good literature — Error.
- It should be additions: "one of the latest additions".
Example: Sachin is one of the greatest batsmen of all time.
(D) published to good recent tunes — Error.
- "to good recent tunes" makes no sense here.
- It should be published in recent times.
- Correct form: Magic realism is one of the latest additions to good literature published in recent times.
