Find the part of the sentence that contains an error

What critics often overlook is not the literary structure per se, but the emotional authenticity of characters and how it affects reader's trust.

Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation

Answer: (D) and how it affects reader's trust.

Concept (Determiner before a Singular Noun) Reader एक singular countable noun (एकवचन गणनीय संज्ञा) है, इसलिए उससे पहले determiner आना आवश्यक है। यहाँ भाग (4) में 'reader's' अकेला आया है, जिससे संरचना अधूरी रह जाती है, अतः त्रुटि वहीं है। सही रूप the reader's trust है।
✓ सही वाक्य: What critics often overlook is not the literary structure per se, but the emotional authenticity of characters and how it affects the reader's trust.
Examiner का जाल यह है कि लंबा वाक्य 'What' से आरंभ होने के कारण छात्र पहले भागों में त्रुटि खोजने लगते हैं।
Concept (Determiner before a Singular Noun) Reader is a singular countable noun and must have a determiner before it. So it should be the reader's trust or readers' trust (in the general sense). Part (4) has 'reader's' alone, so the error is there.
✓ Correct sentence What critics often overlook is not the literary structure per se, but the emotional authenticity of characters and how it affects the reader's trust.
Examiner's Trap Seeing a long sentence beginning with 'What', students look for the error in the earlier parts.
