Question 10

Select the part of the sentence that is grammatically incorrect. If there is no error in the sentence, select (5) No error.

While some critics argue that /(1) literature reflects social norms accurately, /(2) others insist it has the power of /(3) shaping cultural values instead. (4) No error

The correct phrase should be "the power to shape" because "power" is typically followed by the infinitive form of a verb (e.g., "the power to change," "the power to inspire").

Using "of shaping" means a different structure, which is not appropriate here.

Correct sentence: While some critics argue that literature reflects social norms accurately, others insist it has the power to shape cultural values instead.
