Question

The following sentence has been divided into parts. One of them may contain an error.Select the part that contains the error from the given options.

Nature have its own way / of teaching us through different life experiences / that mayseem unwelcome / but eventually cure us of our arrogance and vanity.

A.

of teaching us through different life experiences

B.

Nature have its own way

C.

but eventually cure us of our arrogance and vanity

D.

that may seem unwelcome

Correct option is B

Option (b) contains an error.

Explanation: The subject “Nature” is singular, so the verb must also be singular. The correct verb is “has”, not “have”.
Correct sentence: Nature has its own way of teaching us through different life experiences...

Grammatical Rule Used:
Subject-Verb Agreement – A singular subject takes a singular verb; a plural subject takes a plural verb.
Example: The sun has its own light. (NOT “have”)

Even though “nature” refers to a broad entity, it is treated as singular in grammar.

Meanings of other parts (no errors):

  • (a): Correct – expresses the method

  • (c): “cure” is correctly plural to agree with plural subject “experiences”

  • (d): No error – “may seem” correctly applies to plural noun “experiences”
