English — Language and Literature (184) — CBSE Class 10 board question

Error | Correction
"...apy" (incomplete word — "Therapy") | The sentence should begin with "If therapy..." — the word "If" is missing before "therapy", making it a fragment without a condition.

(If the sentence reads: "...apy is provided by a qualified professional, people could learn how to make better food choices.")

Error: "...apy" — the beginning of the sentence is missing; the complete word and conjunction should be present.
Correction: "If therapy" (the conditional "If" is missing before "therapy").

Error | Correction
Missing "If" before "therapy" | "If therapy is provided by a qualified professional, people could learn how to make better food choices."

• This is a conditional sentence (second/first conditional structure). The clause "people could learn..." implies a condition must precede it.
• The fragment "...apy" indicates the word "therapy" was cut; the examiner also expects students to spot the missing word "If" to complete the conditional structure.
• In a 1-mark fill-in-blank/error correction, simply identify the error and write the corrected version clearly in the table format as instructed.
