Question

This question consists of a sentence which is divided into four parts numbered (1) to (4). Only one part of the sentence is not acceptable in standard written English. Identify that part which contains an error.

A.

I had a partial father

B.

who give me a better education

C.

than his broken fortune

D.

would have allowed.

Correct option is B


The error lies in part (b): "who give me a better education."
The verb "give" should be in the past tense "gave" to match the singular subject "father" and the context of the sentence. The phrase "who give" is incorrect because "father" is singular, so the verb should be "gave."
Correct Sentence:
I had a partial father who gave me a better education than his broken fortune would have allowed.
Grammatical Rule Used:
· Subject-Verb Agreement: A singular subject requires a singular verb. In this case, "father" is singular, so the correct verb form is "gave," not "give."
Grammatical Rule in Hindi:
· विषय-क्रिया समझौता: जब किसी वाक्य में एकवचन विषय होता है, तो क्रिया भी एकवचन होनी चाहिए।
