    Question

    The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains an error.

    "She is one/ of those people/ who enjoy hiking/ in the

    mountains."
    A of those people Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B who enjoy hiking Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C in the mountains Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D She is one Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The relative pronoun "who" refers to "people," which is plural. However, the subject of the clause "one of those people" is singular, so the verb should agree with the singular subject. The correct verb form should be "enjoys" instead of "enjoy." The correct sentence should be: "She is one of those people who enjoys hiking in the mountains."
