Question

Identify the part having an error:
Either the youngman (1) / or his friends (2) / has stolen the book (3) / from the table (4)

• (1)
• (2)
• (3)
• (4)

Hint:

With "either...or," the verb agrees with the subject closest to it.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The error is in part (3). After "either...or," the verb should agree with the noun closest to it. Since "friends" is plural, the correct verb form should be "have" instead of "has." Thus, the error is in part (3).
