SPOT THE ERRORJohn may have many defects, but I consider him to the best candidate.
Correct answer: C. to
- A. may
- B. consider
- C. to
- D. the best
Explanation
Add "be" with "to".The original sentence is incorrect because it lacks the verb "be" after the preposition "to," making it grammatically incomplete. Adding "be" to the sentence corrects this, making it more complete and coherent.
