In the following question, one part of the sentence may have an error. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and click the option corresponding to it. If the sentence is free from error, click the 'No error' option. It is an opportunity for India to reassess (A)/ the need for a national asylum policy which (B)/ is compliant with the principles lain down. (C)/ No error (D)?

Option 3 : C

Correct option - 3

Here, error is in verb lain. It is the past participle form of verb 'lie' that means to rest horizontally on the surface. 

Whereas, the context talks about principles that are already presented regarding the policy. Hence, use past participle form of verb 'lay' in the sentence. That means to present information or suggestions to be considered and acted upon by someone. Hence, replace lain with laid. Thus, option 3 is the appropriate answer.

Correct sentence - It is an opportunity for India to reassess the need for a national asylum policy which is compliant with the principles laid down.
