Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Options:

(A)

(B) and (D)

(C)

(C) and (E)

Correct Answer:

(C)

Explanation:

The part of the sentence with an error is: (C) and chose their words carefully.

  • Subject-verb agreement: In the present tense, "all good writers" are plural, so the verb should also be plural. "Chose" is singular, making it disagree with the subject.
  • Correction: The verb should be "choose" to match the plural subject.

Therefore, the corrected sentence would be:

All good writers are aware of their audience and choose their words carefully in order to persuade their readers.
