    Question

    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).

    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

    When there is one subject and more than one verb, the verbs throughout the sentence must agree with the subject. So here, instead of ‘allows’, ‘allow’ should be used. Most risk factors for pre-school overweight are modifiable and allow at-risk groups to be identified, say researchers.
