Model Answer

Error: in | Correction: to

(The correct phrase is "aimed to increase" — 'aimed' followed by an infinitive requires 'to', not 'in'.)

Explanation

The verb aim when followed by another verb uses the infinitive form: aim + to + verb. "Aimed in increase" is grammatically incorrect. Examiners look for the exact error word and its correct replacement in the stated format.
