Question

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

• A. This has slowed the progress
• B. of reforms in many countries
• C. because the choice of either of the extreme
• D. positions inevitably invite criticism.

Hint:

Identify the true subject before deciding on singular or plural verb form.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Subject–verb agreement The subject is “choice,” which is singular, so the verb should be singular “invites,” not plural “invite.” Step 2: Correction Correct form: “…positions inevitably invites criticism.” Step 3: Reason Errors in subject–verb agreement often occur when the subject is separated from the verb by a prepositional phrase like “of reforms” or “of positions.”
