Topic: Correction (Sentence Correction), Subject: English Grammar (ইংরেজি গ্রামার)

Best Answer Explained in Below-:

The incorrect word in the sentence "Mithila intends to starting her own software business in a few years" is "starting." This is because of the grammatical structure that follows the verb "intends." In English, certain verbs are followed by infinitive forms instead of gerunds (the -ing form). The verb "intend" requires the infinitive form to express future intentions.

The correct structure should be "Mithila intends to start her own software business..." Here, "to start" is the infinitive form of the verb "start," indicating her intention to take action in the future.

The other words in the sentence—"Mithila," "software," "intends," and "few"—are used correctly. "Mithila" is the subject, "intends" is the verb in the present tense, "software" is a noun that correctly describes the type of business, and "few" appropriately modifies "years." Thus, the sentence needs the infinitive "to start" instead of the gerund "starting," making "starting" the incorrect word.
