    Question

    Read each sentence to find out whether there is any grammatical error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. Mark the part with the error as your answer. If there is no error, mark ‘No error’ as your answer (Ignore the errors of punctuation, if any).

    The Police has arrested the accused, (A) / but my mentor and boss cleared the air (B) / and tried to get the accused released, (C) / thus earning them praise (D) / from the family. (E)

    A C & E Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B C & D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C D & E Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D A & C Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E A & D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    A – the subject police is always plural and thus we need to use “have” and not “has”. D – the correct word here is “him” or “her” and not “them” as “my mentor and boss” refers to a single person.
