The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error. Most of the committee / are here to / decide the fate of / this ancient building.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. are here to.
"are here to" is the incorrect segment. The correct phrase should be "is here to".
The subject "Most of the committee" is singular, as it refers to a single entity, even though it consists of multiple people. Therefore, the verb should be singular as well i.e."is".
The correct sentence is: "Most of the committee is here to decide the fate of this ancient building."
