Correct Answer: altered significant


Solution : The part that contains the error is in the first option.

Explanation: The adjective significant should be modified by the adverb significant in this context. Therefore, the correct phrase should be altered significantly to maintain proper grammatical agreement.

The error lies in using the adjective significant instead of the adverb significantly to modify the verb altered.

So, the correct sentence would be: How the students approach education today has altered significantly.
