    Question

    The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
    Nothing hinders the cat / from reaching its master / whenever it listening / to his voice.

    A.

    from reaching its master

    B.

    whenever it listening

    C.

    to his voice

    D.

    Nothing hinders the cat

    Correct option is B

    Option (b) contains a grammatical error.
    The error is in the phrase "whenever it listening."
    The correct form should be "whenever it listens" because "listening" is incorrect in this context.
    The verb should be in the simple present tense "listens" to agree with "whenever," which introduces a habitual action.
    The correct sentence should be: "Nothing hinders the cat from reaching its master whenever it listens to his voice."
    Grammatical rule used:
    · Subject-verb agreement in habitual actions: When describing habitual actions with "whenever," the verb should be in the simple present tense.
    Example:
    · Incorrect: He runs to the door whenever he hearing the bell.
    · Correct: He runs to the door whenever he hears the bell.
