What correction is needed for the sentence on writing reports related to drug smuggling?

  1. Change on to around

  2. Change incident to incedent

  3. Change from to with

  4. No correction is necessary

The correct answer is: Change from to with

The correct choice indicates that the word "from" should be changed to "with" in the context of the sentence about writing reports related to drug smuggling. This correction improves clarity and accuracy in the phrasing. "From" typically implies a starting point or origin, while "with" suggests collaboration or involvement in the context. Therefore, in discussing reports, it makes more sense to describe how they are produced in association with drug smuggling activities using "with," as this emphasizes the relationship between the report and the subject matter it addresses. This change effectively enhances the reader's understanding of how reports are connected to drug smuggling incidents.
