Back to paper

In the given sentence identify the segment which contains a grammatical error.

The publics are not satisfied with the new act.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. The publics are.

  1. The error lies in part 1 of the statement because of the wrong use of "Noun".
  2. We need to replace "Publics" with "Public" for making the statement grammatically correct.

Grammatical Concept:- 

  • "Public" is already a plural noun hence, we can not add "S" to make it plural.

  • Adding "S" makes it superfluous.

  • The chosen option contains the ERROR hence, it will be the correct answer.

The correct sentence will be- 

The public are not satisfied with the new act.
