Sentence Correction 25 / 50

Choose the option that best corrects the grammatical or logical error in the underlined fragment.

The new curriculum, comprising of several advanced modules and a mandatory internship, is designed to equip graduates with practical skills in emerging technologies.

A. (No change)
B. comprising several advanced modules and a mandatory internship,
C. consisting in several advanced modules and a mandatory internship,
D. consisted of several advanced modules and a mandatory internship,

1. Identification of Error: Redundant idiom usage.
2. Grammatical Rule: The verb "comprise" means "to consist of" or "to include." Therefore, the preposition "of" after "comprise" is redundant and grammatically incorrect.
3. Option Elimination:
A. Incorrect — "comprising of" is unidiomatic and redundant.
B. Correct — "comprising" correctly used as a transitive verb without "of."
C. Incorrect — "consisting in" is an incorrect idiom; it should be "consisting of."
D. Incorrect — "consisted of" changes the tense to past, which is inconsistent with the present tense of the main clause ("is designed"), and implies the curriculum no longer holds these components.
