Question

In the given sentence, identify the segment which contains a grammatical error.
The manager said that Rahul does not wants to go to Mumbai for the new project.

A.

does not wants

B.

for the new project

C.

said that

D.

to go to

Correct option is A

Option (a) does not wants contains an error.
Explanation:
The auxiliary verb “does” is followed by the base form of the main verb, not its 's/es' form.
Hence, “wants” should be changed to want.
Correct sentence: The manager said that Rahul does not want to go to Mumbai…
Grammatical Rule Used:
When using “does/does not” with a singular subject, the main verb remains in base form.
→ Subject + does not + V1 + object…
Example:
Incorrect: He does not likes tea.
Correct: He does not like tea.
