Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDF- The primary issue in the sentence is the use of the phrase "compete with each other."
- When talking about competition among many, it is more appropriate to use "compete against each other."
- The phrase "compete with" is typically used when talking about working together towards a common goal, which is not the case here.
- Thus, the error is located in part B of the sentence.
- A: "Thousands of candidates," – This part of the sentence is grammatically correct and does not require any changes.
- C: "for a single post." – This part of the sentence is grammatically correct and does not require any changes.
- D: "No error" – This would be the correct option if there were no mistakes in the sentence, but there is an error in part B.
