SSC CHSL - 13 April 2021 - Shift 2 • English • Q7

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

Participating in the Republic Day Parade are considered an honour by many people.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. are considered an honour

  • The error lies in option 1 because of the wrong use of "verb".
  • We need to replace "are" with "is" to make the statement grammatically correct.
  • Here the subject "participating" is singular, so its verb must also be singular.

Correct Sentence:- Participating in the Republic Day Parade is considered an honour by many people.
