Question 1 / 100

In the sentence identify the segment which contains the grammatical error.

My brother, who live in Delhi, has written me a letter.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. who live in Delhi.

  1. The error lies in part 3 of the statement because of the wrong use of "Subject-verb agreement".
  2. We need to replace "Live" with "Lives" for making the statement grammatically correct.

Grammatical Concept:- 

  • In the case of a relative pronoun, we need to use the verb according to the antecedent used before it.
  • In the given statement antecedent is "Brother" which is singular hence, we need to use a singular verb here.
  • The chosen option contains the ERROR hence, it will be the correct answer.

The correct sentence will be- 

My brother, who lives in Delhi, has written me a letter.
