Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Answer: The error is in part 1.
Explanation: The word "Our" is a possessive adjective and must be followed by a noun (for example, "our country"). When a possessive is used alone as a pronoun it should be "Ours."
Correct sentence: Ours is the only country in the world that can boast of unity in diversity.
Note: An alternative wording is "Our country is the only country in the world that can boast of unity in diversity," but the simplest direct correction is to replace "Our" with "Ours."
