New: SSC Stenographer Application Form 2024 Released
Don't Miss: Month-wise current affairs
Suggested: Upcoming government exams
Correct Answer: acquire a feeling
Solution : The error lies in the second option.
The error lies in the use of the base form of the verb acquire without the appropriate past participle acquired. In this context, when expressing that the feeling of self-confidence and courage has been obtained in the past and continues to the present or has relevance to the present moment, the present perfect form is used, which is have acquired in this case.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "I have acquired a feeling of self-confidence and courage."
