SSC CGL - 3rd March 2020 Shift 1 • English • Q22

Back to paper

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

One of the boys from our school have been selected for National Badminton Championship.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. have been selected.

  1. The error lies in this segment of the statement because of the incorrect usage of 'Subject Verb Agreement'.
  2. We need to replace 'have' with 'has' for making the statement grammatically correct.

Grammatical Concept:- 

  • 'One of' is followed by the plural noun but a singular verb.
  • Hence we need to make the necessary changes for making the statement correct.

The correct sentence will be:

One of the boys from our school has been selected for National Badminton Championship.

Hence, the chosen option is correct.
