Question : 72
Total: 100
Find the part of the given sentence that has an error in it. If there is no error, choose ‘No error’.
The doctor with his/ interns are due/ to arrive here by noon. /No error
The doctor with his
interns are due
No error
to arrive here by noon
Validate
Solution:
The correct answer is
option 2)
i.e. The part of the sentence '
interns are due
' is flawed.
According to the rule of Sentence verb agreement, the number of subjects and the number of verb should be in quality.
That is, singular subject = singular verb (singular subject+ v1 (s/es)/ is,am + object)
Plural subject = plural verb (Plural subject + v1/ are+ object)
The sentence given, here, has a singular subject, 'doctor'.
'Interns' is a coordinating subject.
The number of verb is decided on the basis of the ' main subject' of the sentence.
According to the rule, a singular subject should have a singular verb, i.e 'is' and not 'are'.
Thus and so, the correct sentence should be: The doctor with his interns is due to arrive here by noon.
