SSC GD Const (English) - 27 Feb 2024 - Shift 3 • English • Q6

Find the part of the given sentence that has an error in it. If there is no error, choose ‘No error’.
Many people prefers a heavy breakfast to a heavy lunch.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. prefers a heavy breakfast.

The subject "Many people" is plural, and in English, plural subjects take the base form of the verb without an -s in the present tense.

The verb "prefers" is singular and does not match the plural subject. Therefore, the correct form is "prefer."

This ensures proper subject-verb agreement, making the sentence grammatically correct.
