Answer 1

Here, the erroneous part is "Raising temperatures in the."

Key Points

The error lies in the part "Raising temperatures in the" of the sentence.
"Raising" and "rising" are related terms but have distinct meanings.
"Raising" is the verb form of "raise."
It typically involves lifting something or causing something to increase. (उठाना)
- Example: You can raise your hand, raise a flag, or raise a child.
"Rising" is the verb form of "rise."
It generally means moving upwards, ascending, or increasing in level or position. (उठना)
It can be used in a more abstract sense to describe things like prices, temperatures, or the sun.
- Example: Rising temperatures in the spring signal the awakening of plants and animals.
The correct answer is option 4.

Correct sentence: Rising temperatures in the springtime signal plants and animals to come alive.
