Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is "ranks"
Key Points
- The error lies in the "ranks" it should be "rank"
- "Rank" refers to a position in a hierarchy or a system of ordering. In this context, it refers to the position of a country in a system of ordering based on GDP.
- "Ranks" is a plural noun which refers to a group of people who have the same status or position in an organization, such as soldiers, police officers, etc.
- So, in the original sentence, "ranks" is not the correct word choice as it doesn't match the context of referring to a position of a country in a system of ordering based on GDP.
Correct sentence: India has been pushed to the seventh place in the global GDP rank in 2018 with the UK and France forging ahead to the fifth and sixth spots.
