Find the part of the sentence that contains an error:
She sings (1) / beautifully and dance (2) / on the stage (3) / every Sunday(4).
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Correct Answer
beautifully and dance (2)
Explanation
The error is in part (2) because the verbs are not in the same grammatical form. “sings” is in the third person singular form, so the coordinating verb “dance” should also agree with the subject and be changed to “dances.”
The correct sentence should be:
“She sings beautifully and dances on the stage every Sunday.”
Key Points
Error: Subject-verb agreement mismatch
Rule: When a subject performs multiple actions, all verbs must agree with the subject
Correct usage: sings and dances
