Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. None of his roles hits the mark.
The error lies in part 2 of the statement because of the wrong use of the Pronoun.
Concept-
- We need to replace "hits" with "hit" for making the statement grammatically correct.
- As "none of" takes plural verb after it if the noun is plural countable we need to use a plural verb.
- So we need to use "hit" at the place of "hits".
The correct sentence will be-
If a guru is a kind of hired teacher none of his roles hit the mark of what is intended.
