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

Raw materials are substances that are either found naturally or produce by farmers.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. produce by.

  1. The error lies in option 2 because of the wrong use of "Voice".
  2. We need to replace "Produce" with "Produced" for making the statement grammatically correct.

Grammatical concept:- 

  • We need to use passive structure here as there is "By + agent" at the end of the statement.
  • "Be + past participle" is the correct passive structure.
  • The chosen option contains the Grammatical Error hence, it will be the correct choice.

Correct Sentence:-

Raw materials are substances that are either found naturally or produced by farmers.
