The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that
contains a grammatical error.
Both Reeta and Ronika / has won / the dance competition / this year.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. has won.
- The second part of the given sentence is erroneous in nature.
- In the given sentence, the subject is "Both Reeta and Ronika," which is a plural subject indicating multiple individuals.
- Therefore, the correct verb form to agree with a plural subject is "have won" instead of "has won."
- The verb "have" should be used to match the subject's plurality.
Thus, the corrected sentence would be:
Both Reeta and Ronika have won the dance competition this year.
