Find the part of the sentence that contains an error:
That the policy omits provisions for backward compatibility (1) / is less troubling than the belief (2) / that all regional
bodies will, without any pressure, (3) / complies with the central directive as issued (4).
Options:
- a) (1)
- b) (2)
- c) (3)
- d) (4)
- a) (1)
- b) (2)
- c) (3)
- d) (4)
correct answer : d)
Explanation:
The error is in part (4). The subject of the dependent clause is ‘all regional bodies’ (plural). Therefore, the verb must also be plural. ‘complies’ should be ‘comply’.
त्रुटि भाग (4) में है। आश्रित उपवाक्य (dependent clause) का कर्ता ‘all regional bodies’ (बहुवचन) है। इसलिए, क्रिया भी बहुवचन होनी चाहिए। यहाँ ‘complies’ के स्थान पर ‘comply’ का प्रयोग होना चाहिए।
