Question

Choose the option that points out sentence(s) with grammatical error(s):
[I.] I love the man dancing on the table.
[II.] I love the man’s dancing on the table.
[III.] In 1986 Elie Wiesel was named the Nobel Peace Prize recipient, an honour established by Alfred Nobel.
[IV.] Neither of the recommendations works as well as we thought they would.
[V.] Either the Minister or the Minister’s wife will have to excuse themselves from the reception to speak to the caterer. \bigskip

• A. II and V
• B. I and IV
• C. II and V
• D. III and IV
  \bigskip

Hint:

Always check for misplaced modifiers and subject-pronoun agreement in complex sentence structures.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Sentence III has a modifier problem. It sounds like Alfred Nobel was the Nobel Peace Prize recipient, instead of the founder. Corrected: “...an honour that was established by Alfred Nobel.”
Sentence IV is incorrect due to subject-verb agreement: “Neither” is singular, so the verb should be “works,” but it is followed by “they would,” which is plural. This pronoun mismatch makes it incorrect. \[ \boxed{\text{III and IV}} \] \bigskip
