Identify the segment in the sentence which contains the grammatical error from the given options.
Most of the work of this NGO are of little benefit to the disadvantaged.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4, i.e. are of little benefit.
- 'Most' is used as a singular term but for uncountable nouns. In this case the uncountable noun is 'work' and 'most' indicates a singular sense rather than being plural.
- For this reason the usage of 'are' is incorrect. 'Are' is used only after plural form of words. The correct sentence here would have been, 'is of little benefit'.
