Question 1739
In the following sentence, some parts have errors and some are correct. Find out which part has an error and mark it as your answer. If there is no error, mark ‘No error’ as your answer. Growing concerns in Bangladesh over the National Register (A)/ of Citizens (NRC) in Assam is another source of tensions, (B)/ and the government must not ignore questions Ms. Hasina (C)/ raised with Mr. Modi, in New York and New Delhi.(D)
Answer
B
Why?
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. Part B. The error lies in the wrong usage of the subject-verb agreement. In Part B, replace 'is ' with 'are' because the subject 'growing concerns' is in the plural and should be followed by the plural verb 'are'. Correct sentence : "Growing concerns in Bangladesh over the National Register of Citizens (NRC) in Assam are another source of tensions, and the government must not ignore questions Ms. Hasina raised with Mr. Modi, in New York and New Delhi" If the subject is singular, the verb must be singular too. Example: She writes every day. Exception: When using the singular "they," use plural verb forms. Example: The participant expressed satisfaction with their job. They are currently in a managerial role at the organization. If the subject is plural, the verb must also be plural. Example: They write every day.
