Question

In the given question, the sentence has four underlined words or phrases. Identify the one underlined word or phrase that must be changed in order to make the sentence correct. Mark E for no error.

• A. are so similar
• B. in their
• C. that even
• D. one chooses
• E. No Error

Hint:

When the subject is plural, ensure the verb agrees with it. For example, "they choose" instead of "one chooses" when referring to multiple people.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Understanding the sentence.
The sentence "The twins are so similar in their tastes and preferences that even the music one chooses is the same." contains an issue with the phrase "one chooses." Since the subject "twins" is plural, the verb should also be plural. Therefore, it should be "they choose" instead of "one chooses."
Step 2: Analyzing the options.
(A) are so similar: This part is correct. The verb "are" correctly agrees with the plural subject "twins."
(B) in their: This is correct. The phrase "in their" properly indicates possession.
(C) that even: This part is correct. "That even" is correctly used to introduce the comparative clause.
(D) one chooses: Incorrect. Since "twins" is plural, the correct verb form is "they choose."
(E) No Error: This is incorrect because "one chooses" should be replaced with "they choose."
Step 3: Conclusion.
The correct answer is (D) one chooses, as it should be corrected to "they choose" to match the plural subject "twins."
