In the sentence identify the segment which contains the grammatical error.
Everything that I like to eat are fattening.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. are fattening.
- The error lies in this segment of the statement because of the wrong use of "Subject Verb Agreement".
- We need to replace "are" with "is" for making the statement grammatically correct.
Grammatical concept:-
- "Everything/everyone/everybody/anything/anyone/anybody/something/somebody/someone" is considered singular so we need to use singular verb for it.
- As in the given statement subject is "everything" that is singular we need to use the singular verb for it.
- Hence the chosen option will be correct.
The correct sentence will be-
Everything that I like to eat is fattening.
