Question
Directions : In the question below, a sentence is
given, divided into five parts (A), (B), (C), (D) and (E). One of the parts is grammatically incorrect or has an error in it. You are required to identify the parts that are grammatically correct and choose the option accordingly. They walked into the club (A)/ already completely inebriated, (B)/ tripping over this and that (C)/ as they made their ways towards the bar (D)/ and upon reaching it, ordered beer. (E)Solution
 As the error lies in part D. Replace WAYS with WAY. Although more than one person's movement towards a particular destination, in this case the BAR, is being spoken about, the noun will retain its singular form WAY since they are all heading in the same direction. If they took separate paths, the plural form WAYS would be correct.
