SSC CGL Tier II - English - 16th Nov 2020 • English • Q42

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

The venue for the wedding have not been finalised yet.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. have not yet.

  • The error lies in the option 3 due to the wrong usage of subject-verb agreement.
  • In the given sentence the main subject is 'the venue' and it is singular.

  • Therefore, a singular helping verb should be used.

  • Thus, the sentence can be corrected by using the singular verb 'has' to maintain subject-verb agreement.

The correct sentence will be:- The venue for the wedding has not been finalized yet.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3 i.e. have not yet.
