In the sentence identify the segment which contains the grammatical error.
Due to Cyclone Idai vast areas of land have been flooded, roads destroyed and communications disrupting in Zimbabwe and Mozambique.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. and communications disrupting.
The fragment ‘and communications disrupting’ is not maintaining the parallelism of the sentence. All the verbs present in the sentence must agree with each other.
‘Disrupting’ must be replaced with ‘disrupted’ to form a grammatically correct sentence.
The correct sentence will be: Due to Cyclone Idai vast areas of land have been flooded, roads destroyed and communications disrupted in Zimbabwe and Mozambique.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
