Question:

Each of the questions consists of a certain number of sentences. Some sentences are grammatically incorrect or inappropriate. Select the option that indicates the grammatically correct and appropriate sentence(s).

People have good reason to care about the welfare of animals.
Ever since Enlightenment, their treatment has been seen as a measure of mankind's humanity.
It is no coincidence that William Wilberforce and Sir Thomas Foxwell Buxton, two leaders of the movement to abolish the slave trade, helped found the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in 1820s.
An increasing number of people go further: mankind has a duty not to cause pain to animals that
have the capacity to suffer.

Explanation:

Statements B and C are incorrect.
Statement B should read ‘Ever since the Enlightenment…’ (the Enlightenment: a philosophical movement of the 18th century, characterized by belief in the power of human reason and by innovations in political, religious, and educational doctrine).
Statement C should read "…. in the 1820s".
From the above interpretation, options 2, 3 and 4 are eliminated.
Hence, the correct answer is option 1.
