Back to paper

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

You are invite to build a better community by planting a seed of peace within and tree outside.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. You are invite to.

  1. The error lies in option 3 because of the wrong use of "Voice".
  2. We need to replace "Invite" with "Invited" for making the statement grammatically correct.

Grammatical concept:- 

  • The "Be" form of the verb is followed by the "Present participle/past participle" form of the verb.
  • In the given statement "You" does not act as an active doer hence, we need to keep the statement in passive voice.
  • Hence, "Be + past participle" form of the verb will be the correct choice.
  • The chosen option contains the Grammatical Error hence, it will be the correct choice.

Correct Sentence:-

You are invited to build a better community by planting a seed of peace within and tree outside.
