Identify the segment in the sentence which contains a grammatical error.

We must plan how can we cope with the present situation.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. how can we.

  • Since the given sentence is assertive, the use of the inverted form of the verb is wrong in the sentence.

  • Therefore, 'how we can' will be used instead of 'how can we' in the sentence.

The correct sentence will be:-

We must plan how we can cope with the present situation.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3 i.e. how can we.
