Key Points

  • The part of the sentence that contains the error is "effect only males."
  • The correct version of this sentence would be "affect only males."
  • The word "effect" is a noun meaning "a result or influence" while "affect" is a verb meaning "to produce an effect or influence on."
  • So, in this sentence, "affect" is the appropriate word choice to describe the impact of the disorder on males.
