Identify the segment in the sentence, which contains the grammatical error.
Those whose have lost their identity cards can get new ones issued from the office.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2, i.e. Those whose have
Error concept: Related to the use of an incorrect Pronoun
What is wrong: The phrase "Those whose have" is incorrect. The word "whose" is a possessive pronoun and is used to show possession. But here, we are talking about "those people who have lost...", so the correct word is "who", not "whose".
Grammatical concept: "Whose" is used to show possession, like “the man whose car was stolen”. "Who" is used as a subject pronoun, like “those who have lost...”.
Incorrectness of the concept in context: We are not showing possession here. We are saying “those people who have lost...”, not “those people whose something...”
How to correct: Replace "whose" with "who"
Correct phrase/ correction: Those who have
Final sentence: Those who have lost their identity cards can get new ones issued from the office.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
