The old man think his younger daughter was mocking him
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The Correct answer is option 4 i.e. The old man think.
-
The error lies in the subject-verb agreement.
-
The subject "old man" is singular, so the verb should also be singular.
-
Therefore, "think" should be corrected to "thinks" to match the singular subject.
-
The corrected sentence would be: "The old man thinks his younger daughter was mocking him."
