Back to paper

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

There is many modes of travel to go to Agra but I prefer road travel.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. There is many modes.

  1. The error lies in part 3 of the statement because of the wrong use of "Subject-verb agreement".
  2. We need to replace "Is" with "Are" for making the statement grammatically correct.

Grammatical concept:- 

  • In case of "there", we use verb in the statement according to the "noun" used after the verb.
  • As the noun used after the verb is "many modes" that is plural, we need to use the plural form of the.
  • Hence, the chosen option will be correct.

The correct sentence will be- 

There are many modes of travel to go to Agra but I prefer road travel.
