Everybody who know him agree that he rarely loses his temper.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 i.e who knows him agrees that.
- The underlined part of the sentence is grammatically incorrect.
- The indefinite pronouns “anyone, everyone, someone, no one, nobody” are always singular and, therefore, require singular verbs.
- In the given sentence, the verb ‘know’ and ‘agree’ should agree with the singular pronoun ‘everybody’.
- So, the correct sentence would be: Everybody who knows him agrees that he rarely loses his temper.
