Question
In the sentence, identify the segment which contains
the grammatical error. In the case of the guinea pig, the number of offsprings varies between two to five.Solution
The grammatical error of the sentence is in option C. The error is related to the noun āoffspringsā. Singular and plural versions of a few nouns are the same: offspring, deer, sheep, aircraft, apparatus, etc. are a few of them. For example, The airline is taking steps to ensure the safety of its aircraft. There were several sheep in my field. A lot of deer were brought to the zoo. āOffspringā means āthe young of an animal or humansā. For example, Ramās sister came over on Sunday with all her offspring. Here, āoffspringā is a plural noun as it is written after the clause āthe number ofā. And we write singular verb (i.e. varies in this sentence) after this. In order to make the sentence correct, replace āoffspringsā with āoffspringā. Correct sentence: āIn the case of the guinea pig, the number of offspring varies between two to five.ā
