Let's analyze the paragraph sentence by sentence and identify any grammatical errors. Detailed Analysis: 1. "NITI Aayog recent unveiled the 'Greening and Restoration of Wasteland with Agroforestry' (GROW) report, highlighting the potential of agroforestry to rejuvenate India’s vast wastelands." o Error: "recent" should be "recently" because the adverb "recently" modifies the verb "unveiled." o Correction: "NITI Aayog recently unveiled the 'Greening and Restoration of Wasteland with Agroforestry' (GROW) report, highlighting the potential of agroforestry to rejuvenate India’s vast wastelands." 2. "The report emphasizes the role of agroforestry in enhancing biodiversity, improve soil health, and supporting sustainable livelihoods for rural communities." o Error: "improve" should be "improving" to maintain parallel structure with "enhancing" and "supporting." The list of activities should have consistent verb forms. o Correction: "The report emphasizes the role of agroforestry in enhancing biodiversity, improving soil health, and supporting sustainable livelihoods for rural communities." 3. "It propose a multi-sectoral approach, involving government agencies, private sector, and local communities, to transform barren lands into productive ecosystems." o Error: "propose" should be "proposes" because the subject "It" is singular and requires the third-person singular verb form. o Correction: "It proposes a multi-sectoral approach, involving government agencies, private sector, and local communities, to transform barren lands into productive ecosystems." 4. "The GROW initiative is part of India’s broader strategy to combat climate change, increase carbon sequestration, and meet its land restoration commitments under international environmental agreements." o No error in this sentence. Final Answer: There are three errors in the paragraph: 1. "recent" → "recently" 2. "improve" → "improving" 3. "propose" → "proposes" Thus, the correct answer is (c) Three errors. Grammar Explanation: • Adverb vs Adjective: "recently" is the correct adverb form to modify the verb "unveiled." • Parallel structure: In a list of actions, all verbs should have the same form. Here, "improving" needs to match "enhancing" and "supporting." • Subject-verb agreement: The singular subject "It" requires the singular verb "proposes," not the plural "propose."
