The thin wire that giving off light is called the filament.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. giving off.

  1. The error lies in option 3 because of the wrong use of "Form of the verb".
  2. We need to replace "Giving" with "Gives" for making the statement grammatically correct.

Grammatical concept:- 

  • A subject is always followed by a finite verb.
  • The subject of the given statement is singular hence, we need to use a singular verb here.
  • The chosen option contains the Grammatical Error hence, it will be the correct choice.

Correct Sentence:-

The thin wire that gives off light is called the filament.
