Identify the part of the sentence that contains an error in the usage of conjunctions.

The diplomat emphasized that trade agreements should be structured such that they benefit all parties involved. He explained that some nations hesitate to engage in negotiations because they fear economic disadvantages. However, although trade liberalization has challenges, it also fosters global economic cooperation.

Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation

Answer: (A) such that

Concept ('so that' बनाम 'such that'): यह प्रश्न इस पर टिका है कि 'structured ... they benefit all parties' में purpose या result बताने के लिए कौन-सा conjunction (संयोजक) प्रयुक्त होता है। सामान्य व्याकरण में इसके लिए 'so that' सिखाया जाता है, अतः परीक्षा की दृष्टि से 'such that' को त्रुटिपूर्ण भाग माना गया है। प्रश्न पूरी तरह निर्दोष नहीं है, क्योंकि औपचारिक English में 'such that' की संरचना भी स्वीकार्य है; इसलिए यह मद संदेह के घेरे में है। परीक्षा के लिए 'such that' ही चुना जाएगा।
अन्य विकल्पों में 'because' कारण बताने के लिए सही है और 'has challenges' में कोई त्रुटि नहीं है। 'However, although' में पुनरावृत्ति है, किंतु उसे conjunction की स्पष्ट त्रुटि नहीं कहा जा सकता।
Examiner का जाल: 'so that' और 'such that' का अंतर इतना सूक्ष्म है कि दोनों एक-से लगते हैं।
Concept ('so that' and 'such that'): the question turns on which conjunction expresses purpose or result in 'structured ... they benefit all parties'. Standard grammar teaches 'so that' for this, so the examiner's intended answer is 'such that' as the error. The question is not entirely clean, because 'such that' is grammatically acceptable in formal English, so the item is open to doubt. For exam purposes, 'such that' is to be chosen.
In the other options, 'because' correctly gives a reason, and 'has challenges' has no error. 'However, although' is repetitive, but it cannot be called a clear conjunction error.
Exam trap: the fine difference between 'so that' and 'such that' makes the two look alike.
