Back to paper

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

The most important / of all my goals / are to/ learn English.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e., are to.

  • The error lies in part 3 of the sentence i.e., 'are to'.
  • 'are to' violates the subject-verb agreement because 'are' is a linking verb.
  • Since the subject of the sentence is singular, we cannot use the plural linking verb 'are'.
  • The sentence hence can be improved by using a singular linking verb 'is'.

The correct sentence is:

The most important of all my goals is to learn English.
