Q:

Read the sentence to find out whether there is any error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. If the given sentence is correct as it is, the answer is ‘No error’. Ignore the errors of punctuation, if any.

The ruling party stood/ for implementation of the bill/ and was ready to/ stake their political existence.

A) The ruling party stood B) For implementation of the bill
C) And was ready to D) Stake their political existence
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Stake their political existence

Explanation:

The error lies in the 4th part of the sentence. The subject is 'the ruling party' which is singular; hence 'their' should be replaced by 'its' as their is a possessive pronoun for plural subjects and its is the possessive for singular subjects.
