Identify the segment in the sentence which contains a grammatical error.
The jury are from different parts of the country.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. are from.
- The error in the sentence is related to the subject-verb agreement.
- Whenever "Jury" is used in agreement or as a collective body, it is treated as singular.
- Here, the jury is treated as a single entity.
- Hence, "are" should be replaced with "is".
The complete sentence will be: The jury is from different parts of the country.
