Question
And all the guavas, the peaches, the betel nuts (1)/and
the blackberries in their garden (2)/was planted by the three of them, (3)/with each other's help (4). Read each sentence to find out whether there is any grammatical error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. Mark the part with the error as your answer. If there is no error, mark ‘No error’ as your answer (Ignore the errors of punctuation, if any).Solution
When the subject of the sentence is composed of two or more nouns or pronouns connected by and, use a plural verb. So here, ‘were’ is correct, not ‘was’. And all the guavas, the peaches, the betel nuts and the blackberries in their garden were planted by the three of them, with each other's help.
