Back to paper

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

The Builders’ Associations want GST exemption for government projects which have already proposed.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. which have already proposed.

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

Grammatical concept:- 

  • The second clause of the statement contains an inactive subject hence, we need to keep the statement in the passive voice.
  • "Be + past participle" is the correct passive verb phrase.
  • The chosen option contains the Grammatical Error hence, it will be the correct choice.

Correct Sentence:-

The Builders’ Associations want GST exemption for government projects which have already been proposed.
