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

The environment protection policy need to become stricter if we wish to combat climate change.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. need to become stricter.

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

Grammatical Concept:- 

  • The subject of the given statement is "policy" which is singular hence, we need to use a singular verb here.
  • The chosen option contains the "ERROR" hence, it will be the correct answer.

The correct sentence will be- 

The environment protection policy needs to become stricter if we wish to combat climate change.
