Question

The following sentence has been divided into four segments. Identify the segment that contains an error.
Mr. Surya / have no interior / motive in offering / you support.

A.

Mr. Surya

B.

you support.

C.

motive in offering

D.

have no interior

Correct option is D

Option (d) contains an error.
Explanation: The word "interior" is incorrect and should be replaced with "ulterior" to convey the intended meaning.
Additionally, the auxiliary verb "have" is incorrect because the subject "Mr. Surya" is singular. It should be replaced with "has."
· Correct sentence: Mr. Surya has no ulterior motive in offering you support.
Grammatical Rules Used:
1. Singular subject + singular verb: "Mr. Surya" requires the singular form of the verb "has."
2. The phrase "ulterior motive" is a fixed collocation, meaning a hidden or secret intention.
Example:
· Correct: She has no ulterior motive in helping him.
· Incorrect: She have no ulterior motive in helping him.
