Directions: Four parts of the sentences given below have been underlined. Identify the part having an error. If no part has an error, mark (E).

Paintings of a religious, ceremonial, or (A) of a character of history (B) tend to elevate (C) their subjects above the level of (D) ordinary existence. (E) No error

The phrase 'of a character of history' is grammatically awkward and breaks the parallel structure. The correct parallel form should be 'historical' (adjective) to match 'religious' and 'ceremonial'. The correct phrase is 'Paintings of a religious, ceremonial, or historical character' - or 'of historical character' without the redundant 'of'.
