Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Answer: The segment "discussing with one another" contains the error.
Explanation:
There are two people mentioned ("she" and "her friend"). For a mutual action between two people, the conventional choice is "each other."
The phrase "discussing with one another" should be revised to use "each other," or reworded for natural flow.
Correct sentence: She and her friend are discussing the issue of climate change with each other.
Optional clearer phrasing: She and her friend are discussing the issue of climate change.
Additional note:
"Each other" is traditionally used for two people; "one another" is used for more than two. Modern usage can be flexible, but following the traditional guideline avoids ambiguity.
Examples:
• Two people: The two friends looked at each other.
• More than two: After the meeting, the students thanked one another.
