Back to paper

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

Lodhi Colony in Delhi is very different from other places in the city that is crowded and noisy.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. that is crowded and noisy.

  1. The error lies in the statement because of the wrong use of "Subject-verb agreement".
  2. We need to replace "IS" with "ARE" to make the statement grammatically correct.

Grammatical concept:- 

  • ‘That is crowded and noisy’ is the grammatically incorrect part.
  • The verb must agree with the subject i.e. ‘places’ which is plural.
  • Hence, the verb must also be plural (are).

The correct sentence will be- 

Lodhi Colony in Delhi is very different from other places in the city that are crowded and noisy.
