Back to paper

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

One of the advantages of weekly markets is that much things are available at one place.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. much things.

  1. The error lies in option 2 because of the wrong use of "Determiner".
  2. We need to replace "Much" with "Many" for making the statement grammatically correct.

Grammatical concept:- 

  • 'Much' is used when we are speaking about a singular noun. 'Many' is used when we are speaking about a plural noun.
  • When we speak about 'many' and 'much', it's worth mentioning countable and uncountable nouns. Uncountable nouns can only be used in singular and cannot be used with a number.
  • The noun used in the statement is plural hence, we need to use "Many".
  • The chosen option contains the Grammatical Error hence, it will be the correct choice.

Correct Sentence:-

One of the advantages of weekly markets is that many things are available at one place.
