Select the segment of the sentence that contains a grammatical error. If there is no error, mark 'No error'. Atoms consist in positively-charged protons, negatively-charged electrons and neutral particles called neutrons. Correct Answer Atoms consist in positively-charged protons

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Atoms consist in positively-charged protons.

Consist of- comprise

Consist in- remain

As the atom is formed after the integration of all these particles so we need to use OF with CONSIST for making the sentence grammatically correct.

The correct sentence will be-

Atoms consist of positively-charged protons, negatively-charged electrons and neutral particles called neutrons.
