SSC CGL - 20 July 2023 - Shift 1 • English • Q8

The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.

One of these / boxes have the portrait / of the heiress.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. boxes have.

Since "one" is the subject of the sentence, it requires the singular form of the verb "has" instead of the plural form "have."

The correct form should be "boxes has" instead of "boxes have" to maintain subject-verb agreement.
