Find the part of the sentence that contains an error:
Much of what seems to be coordination (1) / among the regulatory bodies and private stakeholders (2) / are, in reality,
coincidental overlaps (3) / arising from differing mandates (4).
Options:
- a) (1)
- b) (2)
- c) (3)
- d) (4)
- a) (1)
- b) (2)
- c) (3)
- d) (4)
correct answer : c)
Explanation:
The error is in part (3). The subject of the sentence is ‘Much’ (uncountable), which takes a singular verb. Therefore, ‘are’ should be replaced with ‘is’: ‘is, in reality, coincidental overlaps’.
त्रुटि भाग (3) में है। वाक्य का कर्ता ‘Much’ (uncountable) है, जिसके साथ एकवचन क्रिया (singular verb) का प्रयोग होता है। इसलिए, ‘are’ के स्थान पर ‘is’ होना चाहिए: ‘is, in reality, coincidental overlaps’.
