Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
The sentence contains multiple grammatical and punctuation errors. Let's analyze each part:
Part A: 'Rs.1400 crore' should be 'Rs 1400 crore' as 'Rs' is an abbreviation and should not be followed by a period.
Part B: The slash after 'childcare' is unnecessary and disrupts the sentence flow. It should be removed.
Part C: 'have not receive' is incorrect. The verb 'receive' should be in past participle form 'received' to match the auxiliary verb 'have'.
Part D: 'was corrupted' is in past simple tense, but the context requires past perfect tense to indicate an action completed before another past action. It should be 'had been corrupted'.
Each part contains an error that affects grammar, punctuation, or tense usage.
