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. If you don’t find any error, mark ‘No error’ as your answer.
"Villagers / who approached the agriculture officer / are uneducated and poor."

Correct option is D

Explanation:

The word "Villagers" is a plural noun, and the rest of the sentence talks about a specific group of villagers — those who approached the agriculture officer. In such a case, a definite article should be used.

• The correct form is: "The villagers", not just "Villagers".

  • This is because we are talking about specific villagers (i.e., those who approached the officer), not villagers in general.

Correct Sentence:

"The villagers who approached the agriculture officer are uneducated and poor."

Grammar Rule:

Article usage before specific nouns:

• Use "the" before a noun when you are referring to a specific person or group that both the speaker and listener can identify.

  • Example: The students who came late were punished.
