Dažna klaida:
Learners sometimes confuse 'scrutiny' with 'screen' or 'security' because of similar sounds. Another common mistake is using the wrong preposition, e.g. saying *'in scrutiny'* instead of *'under scrutiny'* or *'subject to scrutiny'*. Also, 'scrutiny' is usually used as an uncountable noun in general contexts (e.g. *'under scrutiny'*, not *'under a scrutiny'*) even though a countable use is possible in formal writing.
