Question

Identify which segment of the following sentence has an error, choose option 4 if there is no error. One of my /A............. friends are going/B........... to London next week/C.

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. no error

Hint:

When using "one of," the verb must agree with "one," which is singular. Use "is" instead of "are."

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Identifying the error.
The sentence is talking about "one" of the friends, which is singular. Therefore, the verb "are" should be replaced with the singular form "is."

Step 2: Analyzing the Options.
- (A) A: This segment is correct. "One" is singular, so it requires a singular verb.
- (B) B: This segment has the error. "Are" is plural, but the subject "one" is singular. It should be "is."
- (C) C: This is also correct. The phrase "going to London next week" is grammatically fine.
- (D) no error: There is an error in the sentence, so this option is incorrect.

Step 3: Conclusion.
The error is in segment (B), where the verb should be "is" instead of "are."
