• A. any parts
• B. most part
• C. every part
• D. all part
• E. each parts

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The given sentence is: "Practically, any parts of banana tree is useful to man." The underlined phrase "any parts" indicates a potential error in the sentence, and we must determine if it is grammatically correct or if a substitute option should be used.

Let's evaluate the options:

1. any parts: The word "any" is used with singular nouns or uncountable nouns, but "parts" is plural. Therefore, "any parts" is incorrect in this context.
2. most part: The phrase "most part" is incorrect because "most" should be used with plural nouns (e.g., "most parts") or as "most of the part" to be grammatically correct.
3. every part: The word "every" is correctly used with singular nouns. Here, "every part" correctly signifies each individual part of the banana tree, aligning correctly with the singular verb "is" later in the sentence.
4. all part: The phrase "all part" is incorrect because "all" should be followed by a plural noun (e.g., "all parts").
5. each parts: The word "each" is singular and should be used with singular nouns, but here it is incorrectly followed by "parts," which is plural.

From the above analysis, option 3, "every part," is the grammatically correct choice. It aligns with singular usage, fits the context of the sentence, and agrees with the subsequent verb "is." Therefore, the corrected sentence is: "Practically, every part of banana tree is useful to man."
