Find the part of the given sentence that has an error in it. If there is no error, choose 'No error'.
The muscles on his chest and arms was not well defined.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. was not well defined.
The error occurs because the subject "muscles" is plural, and therefore it requires a plural verb. Singular subjects take singular verbs, while plural subjects take plural verbs.
Since "muscles" is plural, the correct verb form should be "were" instead of "was."
Hence, the correct phrasing is "The muscles...were not well defined."
