    The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error and select the option which rectifies that error. If no error is present then mark option 5 i.e., 'no error' as your answer.

    I wish I was (1)/ more confident about (2)/ my ability

    A 1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The error is in part 1. After "wish," the correct verb form is the past subjunctive, which uses "were" instead of "was" for all subjects. The sentence should be: "I wish I were more confident about my ability to solve complex problems easily."
