Model Answer

| Error | Correction |
|-------|------------|
| Be | Become (or: Become) |

The word "Be" should be replaced with "Become"Become the changes you want to see in the world.

Explanation

The sentence is the famous Mahatma Gandhi quote. "Be" here is used incorrectly as it does not convey the intended meaning of transformation/action. "Become" is the correct verb as it means to transform into something, which fits the context. Examiners expect you to state the error clearly and give the corrected word/sentence in the format shown.
