Question:

Which part of the sentence below is grammatically wrong. Explain why.


Sentence: The whole thing moves around the concept of building a small dynamic organization into a larger one.

Or, as printed on the test:

The whole thing moves /(A) around the concept of building a small dynamic /(B) organization into a larger one /(C)
/(D – No error)

Part – A is "The whole thing moves"
Part – B is "around the concept of building a small dynamic"
Part – C is "organization into a larger one"
Part – D is "No error"


My attempt:

The whole sentence seemed perfectly fine to me and I went for option D (no error). However, many people said the part – organization into a larger one – is wrong, but their reasons varied.


My query:

Which part is actually wrong and why?

Best Answer

The sentence is grammatically correct but poorly worded. Hence it sounds wrong.

If it were written as

The whole project revolves around the concept of building a small dynamic organization into a larger one.

it is grammatically equivalent, but sounds much better.
