Answer» Part B of the sentence CONTAINS error. ‘its’ must be replaced with ‘it’. ‘its’ is a ‘determiner’ which DENOTES ‘association with a previously mentioned thing’, while ‘it’ is a ‘pronoun’ which ‘refers to a thing already mentioned’. In the given sentence, since seats contested by BJP are under consideration, therefore ‘it’ must be used as BJP is being referred to. Correct sentence- ‘In the 2009 Lok Sabha polls, the BJP won just ONE of the 141 seats it contested in these five states.’ |
