    Question

    Parts of the following sentence have been given as options. Select the option that contains a grammatical error.
    The scientists have concluded that their research shows a correlation between air pollution and the decline in bird populations, and they recommends immediate action to reduce emissions.

    A.

    The scientists have concluded that

    B.

    their research shows a correlation between air pollution

    C.

    and the decline in bird populations

    D.

    and they recommends immediate action to reduce emissions

    Correct option is D


    ✔️ Option (d) and they recommends immediate action to reduce emissions contains the error.
    · Explanation:
    · Subject “they” is plural, so the verb should be “ recommend” (base form), not “ recommends” (which is used with singular subjects).
    · Grammatical rule used:
    · In subject-verb agreement, plural subjects must take base verb (without -s) in present simple tense.
    · Hindi Explanation: “They” एक plural subject है, इसलिए इसके साथ “recommend” (बिना -s के) आएगा।
    · Meanings of all the other options:
    · (a), (b), (c) – All are grammatically correct and logically connected.
