Question
Years ago, in the town of Istanbul, there was lot of
shops and folks came out of the hollows from miles around to shop. Directions: In each question below, a sentence is given with a part of it printed in bold type. That part may contain a grammatical error. Each sentence is followed by phrases (A), (B), (C) and (D). Find out which phrase should replace the phrase given in bold to correct the error, if there is any, and to make the sentence grammatically meaningful and correct. If the sentence is correct as it is and ‘No correction is required’ , mark (E) as the answer.Solution
‘Lots of’ is more informal than ‘a lot of’. ‘A lot of’ and ‘lots of’ can both be used with plural countable nouns and with singular uncountable nouns for affirmatives, negatives, and questions. Here, since there were many shops, ‘a lot of’ or ‘lots of’ should be used and since it is plural, ‘there were’ should be used. Years ago, in the town of Istanbul, there were lots of shops and folks came out of the hollows from miles around to shop.
