    Question

    Directions: In each of the following sentences, a sentence is divided into 4 parts (A), (B), (C) and (D). Find out the error in these parts if any. If all the parts are correct, mark (E) as your answer.

    For instance, at no point do (A)/the decree explicitly

    talk about the widespread issue (B)/of child marriage that has been prevalent (C)/even before the Taliban came to power (D).
    A For instance, at no point do Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B the decree explicitly talk about the widespread issue Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C of child marriage that has been prevalent Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D even before the Taliban came to power Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Here, since ‘the decree’ is the subject, ‘does’ is the correct verb, not ‘do’. In (B), ‘talk’ is correct, not ‘talks’ because, the sentence goes as ‘does talk’. For instance, at no point does the decree explicitly talk about the widespread issue of child marriage that has been prevalent even before the Taliban came to power.
