Question

In the following sentence choose the erroneous segment/s
He is one of those people /A who thinks /B he owns the world/C

• A. Error in segment A
• B. Error in segment B
• C. Error in segment A & C
• D. Error in segment B & C

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The sentence in question is: He is one of those people who thinks he owns the world. To identify errors, let's analyze each segment:

1. A: He is one of those people
   This segment is correct. It is referring to a subset of people.
2. B: who thinks
   This segment is erroneous. When referring to "those people," a plural pronoun, the correct verb form should be plural: who think.
3. C: he owns the world
   This segment follows logically from the subject people. However, in the context of who think, it should follow logically from the plural perspective: they own the world.

Therefore, the correct segments should be: He is one of those people who think they own the world. Hence, segments B and C contain the errors.

The correct choice is: Error in segment B & C.
