Identify the part of the sentence that contains an error.

(C) / No error (D)
Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation
Answer: (D) In response to emerging global challenges and changing regulatory requirements, these type of policies
Concept (Demonstrative Number Agreement): 'this' और 'that' के साथ Singular Noun (एकवचन संज्ञा) आता है, जबकि 'these' और 'those' के साथ Plural Noun (बहुवचन संज्ञा)। 'these type of policies' में 'these' Plural (बहुवचन) है, जबकि 'type' Singular है।
अतः 'these type of' के स्थान पर 'this type of' (या 'these types of') आएगा।
✓ शुद्ध वाक्य: In response to emerging global challenges and changing regulatory requirements, these types of policies are (या this type of policy is) increasingly adopted by international organisations.
Exam trap: Number का बेमेल प्रयोग सही लगने का भ्रम ही वह जाल है। 'No error' सही उत्तर नहीं है।
Concept (Demonstrative Number Agreement): 'this' and 'that' go with a singular noun, while 'these' and 'those' go with a plural noun. In 'these type of policies', 'these' is plural but 'type' is singular.
So 'these type of' must become 'this type of' (or 'these types of').
✓ Correct sentence: In response to emerging global challenges and changing regulatory requirements, these types of policies are (or: this type of policy is) increasingly adopted by international organisations.
Exam trap: 'these type of' seems right only because the policies are plural; the number mismatch is the trap. 'No error' is not correct.
