Model Answer

Error: reduce | Correction: reducing

(The preposition on must be followed by a gerund: on reducing sugar intake.)

Explanation

After a preposition (on, in, at, etc.), a verb must take the gerund form (-ing). Here, on governs the verb, so reduce must change to reducing. Examiners expect you to name the error word and give the corrected word clearly.
