Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence. This book giving us much information about our freedom fighters who lost their lives while serving our motherland.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. gives us much information.
Error concept: Tense and verb form agreement
What is wrong: The phrase “This book giving” is grammatically incorrect. A finite verb form is required after the subject “This book”.
Grammatical concept: A singular subject like “This book” requires a singular present tense verb, and “giving” is a present participle, not suitable on its own in this sentence.
Also, “information” is uncountable, so we must use “much information”, not “many information”.
How to correct + extra concept:
-
Use “gives” (third person singular verb form) to match the subject.
-
Retain “much information” (correct usage with uncountable noun).
Correction: gives us much information
Final sentence: This book gives us much information about our freedom fighters who lost their lives while serving our motherland.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
