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

His son-in-laws / have enhanced / his business / within a short period.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. His son-in-laws.

  • The error lies in the option 1 due to the wrong usage of plural form of son-in-law.
  • The plural form of son-in-law is sons-in-law not son-in-laws as used in the sentence.

The correct sentence will be:-

"His sons-in-law have enhanced his business within a short period."

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1 i.e. His son-in-laws.
