Back to paper

The following sentence has been divided into four segments. Select the segment that contains a grammatical error from the given options.

I'm sorry, sir. / How many is / the fine for / returning the books late?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3. i.e. How many is.

  • The question is about the amount of the fine for returning the books late, not the quantity of something.
  • Hence, the original phrase is not appropriate in this context.
  • The correct phrase should be "What is" instead of "How many is."

Thus, the most appropriate option would be  How many is.
