In the following sentence, identify the part which contains the error:

The government / has launched / many schemes / to help poor.

Correct option is D

The error is in part (4) "to help poor". In English grammar, when referring to a group of people using an adjective like "poor," we must add the definite article "the" before it to make it plural and definite, meaning "the poor". Thus, the correct phrase should be "to help the poor", not just "to help poor." The corrected sentence should read: "The government has launched many schemes to help the poor."
Information Booster
· When adjectives represent a class or group, they need "the" before them.
· Examples:
· "The rich should help the poor."
· "The blind need special care."
· Articles ('a,' 'an,' 'the') are important determinants for proper noun usage.
· "Poor" without "the" would just describe a quality, not a group of people.
· Government initiatives often use expressions like "for the poor," "for the needy," etc.
Additional Information
· (1) The government:
· Correct; the subject "The government" is properly used in singular form.
· (2) has launched:
· Correct; the verb "has launched" agrees with the singular subject "government."
· (3) many schemes:
· Correct; "many" correctly modifies the plural noun "schemes."
