Directions: Each item in the section has a sentence with parts labeled . Read each sentence to find out whether there is any error in any underlined part and indicate your response in the Answer Sheet against the corresponding letter . The Eastern Ghats are home of 2600 plant species (A) and this habitat fragmentation (B) can pose a serious threat to endemic plants. (C) No error (D)

The error lies in Part (A). The correct preposition to use with "home" when describing a habitat for living things is "to", not "of".

• Home to: Used to indicate that a place contains or shelters something (e.g., "Australia is home to kangaroos.").
• Home of: Used to indicate origin, invention, or possession (e.g., "New Orleans is the home of jazz.").

Corrected Sentence: "The Eastern Ghats are home to 2600 plant species and this habitat fragmentation can pose a serious threat to endemic plants."
