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

Raju was / a little boy / who were born / in a poor family.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. who were born.

Given sentence: Raju was / a little boy / who were born / in a poor family.

The verb 'was' is used with the first and third-person singular past tense, so, 'were' should be replaced by 'was'. 

Correct sentence: Raju was / a little boy / who was born / in a poor family.
