Question:

In each of the following questions there are sentences that form a paragraph. Identify the sentence(s) or part(s) of sentence(s) that is/are correct in terms of grammar and usage (including spelling, punctuation and logical consistency). Then, choose the most appropriate option.

In response to the allegations and condemnation pouring in,
Nike implemented comprehensive changes in their labour policy.
Perhaps sensing the rising tide of global labour concerns,
from the public would become a prominent media issue,
Nike sought to be a industry leader in employee relations.

Explanation:

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE The sentence takes off correctly in statement A.
Statement B is incorrect because there is a pronoun agreement error. It should be, “Nike implemented comprehensive changes” in its (not their) labour policy. The possessive pronoun ‘its’ should replace ‘their’ as it refers to the antecedent “Nike” which is singular.
Statement C does not require the comma given at the end of the line. The sentence (C and D) can be rephrased as, ‘Perhaps sensing that the rising tide of global labour concerns from the public would become a prominent media issue.’
It can be seen from this sentence that part D can be left unaltered and can be taken as correct.
The word ‘industry’ begins with a vowel sound and hence the article ‘an’ should be used and not ‘a’.
Hence, the correct answer is option 4.
