The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
Renewable energy / sources like solar and wind power / will replaced traditional fossil fuels / and help reduce carbon emissions.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. will replaced traditional fossil fuels.
- The correct tense that should be used here is simple future tense and the correct form is will + first form of the verb.
- The phrase 'will replaced' is incorrect because it combines the modal verb 'will' with the past tense form 'replaced'.
- Here, 'replace' (base form) should follow 'will' instead of 'replaced'.
Therefore, the correct sentence will be: Renewable energy sources like solar and wind power will replace traditional fossil fuels and help reduce carbon emissions.
