Question

The sentence below has been divided into three parts. Select the part of the sentence that has an error. If the sentence has no error, select the option ‘No Error’.
In tropical and sub-tropical/ areas, malaria is one/ of the world’s biggest killer.

A.

No Error

B.

In tropical and sub-tropical

C.

areas, malaria is one of

D.

the world’s biggest killer,

Correct option is D


The error lies in option (d).

Explanation:

  • The phrase one of must be followed by a plural noun.
  • Therefore, one of the world’s biggest killer is incorrect because killer should be plural: killers.

Correct sentence:

In tropical and sub-tropical areas, malaria is one of the world’s biggest killers.

Grammatical rule (English):

One of + the + superlative + plural noun (one of the biggest killers).

व्याकरण नियम (Hindi):

One of के बाद सामान्यतः बहुवचन संज्ञा आती है, इसलिए killer नहीं, killers होगा।

So the correct answer is (d)
