Question of The Day26-09-2020

Identify the segment in the sentence which contains the grammatical error.

The investors have decided to (a)/ fund the projects which fetches to be more profitable (b)/ and have therefore apprised the organisations to be prepared for the same. (c)/ no error (d)

Answer

Correct Answer : b ) b

Explanation :

The error is in part ‘b’.

The relative pronoun ‘which’ relates to the nearest subject, i.e., ‘projects’, is plural in form.

The verb attached to it should also be plural in form. Instead of the singular verb (fetches), we need to use the plural verb (fetch) to satisfy the subject-verb agreement rule.

Hence, (b) is the correct answer.
