Identify the error in the sentence given below:

  1. Education is a instrument / 2. which imparts knowledge and / 3. therefore indirectly controls power / 4. and narratives.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

The word "instrument" begins with a vowel sound (a/e/i/o/u), so the correct article should be "an" not "a."

The corrected phrase would be: "Education is an instrument." The error is in segment 1.


Tip: We say "a university" because the word "university" begins with a "yoo" sound. The spelling doesn't matter, the sound matters!
