Question

    Read the sentence to find out whether there is any grammatical or idiomatic error in it. The error, if any, will be in two parts of the sentence. Mark the parts with the error as your answer. If there is no error, mark (5). (Ignore errors of punctuation, if any)

    government have announced (B)/ several initiatives, including tax rebate (C)/ and incentives of small businesses. (D)
    A A & C Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    C A & D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D B & D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    In Part B: 'have announced' should be 'has announced' because the subject 'government' is singular. In part D- 'incentives of small businesses' should be 'incentives for small businesses' as 'for' is the correct preposition in this context.
