Back to paper

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

The Prime Minister, along with the other ministers have left for America.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. have left.

  1. The error lies in part 3 of the statement because of the wrong use of "Subject Verb Agreement".
  2. We need to replace "have" with "has" for making the statement grammatically correct.

Grammatical concept:-

  • When two subjects are joined with "along with" we use the verb according to the first subject.
  • In the given statement the first subject is singular so we need to use singular verb here.
  • Hence the chosen option is correct.

The correct sentence will be-

The Prime Minister, along with the other ministers has left for America.
