Discuss

Correct Answer: Option A

Explanation:
'Responsible' is an adjective usually used after the noun in certain contexts, but here it should be 'the person responsible' if meaning 'the one in charge'. However, 'a responsible person' is also correct meaning someone who is reliable. The question might have nuance. I'll change option C to 'The person responsible is here' which is correct postpositive. So I'll choose another error. Actually, 'The responsible person' can be correct. Need clear error: 'The awake baby cried' — 'awake' is a predicate adjective, cannot be used attributively. So I'll adjust: C: 'The awake baby cried.' That's wrong; should be 'the baby who is awake'. I'll modify.
