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

Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. There are some monkeys.
- The first part of the given sentence is erroneous in nature as it contains the error of tense.
- 'Are' is used when the sentence is in its present form, but the sentence is in the past tense.
- Thus, 'are' should be replaced with 'were' to bring the tense of the whole sentence in alignment.
Thus, the corrected sentence is:
There were some monkeys on the roof of the carriage but Madhav did not see them.
