Question

Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error. If there is no error, select 'No error.
An appeasements policies/ were all but a sham to misdirect/ the local groups.

A.

the local groups

B.

An appeasements policies

C.

No error

D.

were all but a sham to misdirect

Correct option is B


Option (b) contains an error.
Explanation: "An appeasements policies" is incorrect. The article “an” is used before singular, countable nouns starting with a vowel sound. “Policies” is plural, and “appeasements” is an incorrect plural noun here.
Grammatical rule used: Articles must agree in number with the noun they modify. "An" should be used before a singular noun, and the noun must be countable.
Explanation in Hindi: “An” का प्रयोग एकवचन और गिनती वाले संज्ञा शब्दों से पहले किया जाता है। “appeasements policies” में दोनों शब्द बहुवचन हैं, इसलिए यह गलत है। सही होगा – "appeasement policies" या "an appeasement policy"।
Example: Incorrect – An dogs are barking.
Correct – The dogs are barking.
