SSC Stenographer - 06 Aug 2025 - Shift 3 • English • Q150

Find the incorrect part of the sentence:

The police has arrested the culprit. 

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

In English grammar, the word "police" is treated as a plural collective noun.

Since "police" is plural, it requires a plural verb.

Therefore, the singular auxiliary verb "has" should be replaced with the plural "have."

The correct sentence should be: "The police have arrested the culprit."
