    Question

    The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
    You know that I am fond of reading / and also that all books are my favourite / but you don’t know that this is one of / my favourite book.

    A.

    but you don’t know that this is one of

    B.

    You know that I am fond of reading

    C.

    my favourite book.

    D.

    and also that all books are my favourite

    Correct option is C


    The grammatical error lies in the segment: (c) my favourite book.
    Explanation:
    The error is in subject-verb agreement and noun form related to the phrase "one of".
    · The construction "one of" must always be followed by a plural noun, because you're referring to one item out of many.
    · In this case, the sentence says:
    · "this is one of my favourite book", which is incorrect because "book" is singular.
    Grammar/Usage Rule:
    · Use plural nouns after expressions like:
    · one of the + plural noun
    · some of the + plural noun
    · Examples:
    · She is one of my best friends.
    · This is one of the most exciting games I've played.
    Correct phrase:
    "my favourite books" (plural form)
