Question

    In the following question, a sentence is given with a

    highlighted phrase, and it is followed by three options (I), (II), and (III) which can replace the emboldened phrase to make it grammatically and meaningfully correct. Choose the best option among the five given alternatives that reflect the correct phrase to be used in the sentence. If the sentence is correct as it is, mark 'No replacement required', as the answer The World Tourism Organisation have indicating that city tourism is one of the fastest-growing aspects of tourism. i. Have revealed ii. Has argued iii . Has testified
    A Only ii) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Both ii) and iii) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only iii) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only i) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No replacement required Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    (b) The emboldened phrase and i) are incorrect because the 'World Tourism Organisation' is a singular subject and must be qualified by a singular verb. 'Have' is a plural verb (subject-verb disagreement). ii) and iii) are grammatically correct and bring out meaningfully correct sentences. Hence, b) is the correct answer.
