Question 16: Being an industry expert, I was hoping if there were some tips you can give me on how to succeed as an entrepreneur.
There are a couple of errors in the given sentence.
The first one relates to the modifier, โbeing an industry expertโ. The industry expert is the person spoken to (you), and not the speaker (I). This error is corrected by either saying โas you are an industry expertโ, or โbeing that you are an industry expertโ.
The second error is in the use of โifโ after โhopingโ. โHopingโ normally followed by a noun clause beginning with โthatโ(either explicitly stated or implied), or it is followed by โforโ, or โtoโ. The use of โifโ is incorrect. This error is corrected by saying, โI was hoping that you could give me some tipsโ, or โ I was hoping for some tipsโ.
The option that corrects both the errors is option (D).
The question is " Choose the grammatically correct option "
Choice D is the correct answer.
