Question

The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains an error.
"A Himalayas stretch across / the north-east part / of India and pass / through many countries."

A.

of India and pass

B.

through many countries

C.

the north-east part

D.

A Himalayas stretch across

Correct option is D


Explanation of the Correct Answer: · "A Himalayas" is incorrect because "Himalayas" is a proper noun and a plural geographical name, which requires "The" instead of "A."
· Correct sentence: "The Himalayas stretch across the north-east part of India and pass through many countries."
Why Are the Other Options Incorrect? · (a) "of India and pass" → Correct; "pass" correctly agrees with the plural subject "Himalayas."
· (b) "through many countries" → Correct; grammatically and contextually accurate.
· (c) "the north-east part" → Correct; "north-east part" is a valid noun phrase.
Thus, the correct answer is: (d) "A Himalayas stretch across" should be "The Himalayas stretch across."
