In the following question, some part of the sentence may have errors. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and select the appropriate option. If a sentence is free from error, select ‘No Error’.
I’ve learned that what really counts in life, in the end, is not how many toys we have (1)/ collected or how much money we’ve accumulated, but how many of our (2)/ talents we have liberated and used for a purpose that add value to this world. (3)/ No error (4)
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e., 3.
The error lies in the 3rd part of the sentence as the noun “purpose” will use the verb with “s” at its end. Hence, “add” should be replaced with “adds” to make the sentence meaningfully as well as grammatically correct.
The correct sentence will be-
I’ve learned that what really counts in life, in the end, is not how many toys we have collected or how much money we’ve accumulated, but how many of our talents we have liberated and used for a purpose that adds value to this word.
