Question

Each sentence below has been broken up into four parts sequentially (a, b, c, d). Choose the part which contains a mistake.

• A. The Indian government's choice
• B. of the EEC as a partner
• C. stem from the fact
• D. that the community is the most important market for India.

Hint:

Always ensure subject–verb agreement even when the subject is followed by a long descriptive phrase.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Subject–verb agreement The subject “choice” is singular, so the correct verb should be “stems” not “stem.” Step 2: Correct usage The correct sentence: “The Indian government’s choice of the EEC as a partner stems from the fact…” Step 3: Reasoning Plural verbs should only be used with plural subjects; “choice” is clearly singular.
