The given sentence contains an error in subject-verb agreement. "It were" should be corrected to "It was" to match the singular subject "it".
Explanation:
- Subject-verb agreement: This rule states that a singular subject requires a singular verb, and a plural subject requires a plural verb. In the given sentence, "it" is the subject, which is singular, but the verb "were" is plural. Hence, there is a disagreement between the subject and verb.
- Correction: To correct this error, we need to change "It were" to "It was" to match the singular subject "it". The corrected sentence would be: "It was the students who wanted the teacher to declare holiday."

The error is in part C of the sentence. The corrected sentence should be:A: People have a right to criticiseB: but at the same time each of themC: has to remember their duty also.D: no errorExplanation:- In part C, the subject is "each of them," which is considered singular. So, the verb should also be singular. Therefore, "have" should be replaced with "has."- The pronoun "his" should be replaced with "their" to maintain gender neutrality.

Sarthak Kumar answered |
The given sentence contains an error in subject-verb agreement. 'Class' is a collective noun, and it takes a singular verb. The correct verb form should be 'disagrees' instead of 'disagree'.
Detailed explanation:
- Subject-verb agreement: In English grammar, subject-verb agreement refers to the correspondence in number (singular or plural) and person (first, second, or third) between the subject and the verb of a sentence. In general, a singular subject takes a singular verb, and a plural subject takes a plural verb. However, there are some exceptions, such as collective nouns, which may take either a singular or plural verb depending on the context.
- Collective nouns: Collective nouns are words that refer to a group of people, animals, or things. Examples include 'family', 'team', 'herd', 'swarm', 'class', etc. Collective nouns may take a singular or plural verb depending on whether the emphasis is on the group as a whole or on the individuals within the group. For example, "The family is going on vacation" (singular verb) emphasizes the family as a unit, whereas "The family are arguing among themselves" (plural verb) emphasizes the individuals within the family.
- Solution: In the given sentence, the subject is 'class', which is a collective noun. Therefore, the correct verb form should be 'disagrees', which is the singular verb form. The other parts of the sentence are grammatically correct, including the use of semicolons to separate the clauses and the use of 'remember' as a transitive verb (taking an object 'the flood of cockroaches'). The sentence could be rewritten as follows:
"The class disagrees about the solution to the stuffy condition of the room; ten students want to open the window, but the others remember the flood of frightened cockroaches that poured in the last time Mr. Frampton released the window from the frame."

According to the .Subject-Verb Agreement rule., "Subject(1st) + with/ along with together with/ as well as + Subject(2nd) + Verb" is grammatically the correct structure. However, the verb should be supplied according to the first subject. In the given question, the 1st subject(mother) is in the singular form so it will take .was. as a singular verb.

Sonia das answered |
The correct sentence should be "It was the children that caused a lot of problem to their parents during the long bus journey." Here, "were" should be replaced with "was" as the subject "It" is singular.
Explanation:
Subject-Verb Agreement:
The subject "It" is singular, so the verb "were" should be replaced with "was".
Use of Articles:
The article "the" should be added before "long bus journey" as it is a specific journey that the children and parents took together.
Placement of Adjective:
The adjective "long" should be placed before the noun "bus journey" to indicate the duration of the journey.
Corrected Sentence:
It was the children that caused a lot of problem to their parents during the long bus journey.

Correction of the sentence:
The correct sentence will be: These scissors are so dull that I'm not sure you could slice butter with them!

Punctuation:
- The sentence ends with an exclamation mark to show emphasis.
Pronoun:

Preposition:
- The preposition 'with' is used after the verb 'slice' to show the object being cut.

The error in the given sentence is in part B: "are needed to pass"The correct sentence should be: "Two thirds of the majority is needed to pass the resolution for the impeachment of the President."Explanation:- The subject of the sentence is "Two thirds of the majority," which is considered a singular entity. Therefore, the verb should agree with the singular subject.- The correct verb to use with a singular subject is "is" instead of "are."So, the corrected sentence with proper subject-verb agreement is:Two thirds of the majority is needed to pass the resolution for the impeachment of the President.

Incorrect Verb Agreement
The given sentence is incorrect in terms of verb agreement. The subject of the sentence is "period," which is a singular noun, but the verb used is "have passed," which is plural. The correct verb to use in this sentence would be "has passed."
Corrected Sentence: The period of twenty-five years has passed, and still, he is without a job.
Explanation:
Subject-Verb Agreement
Subject-verb agreement means that the subject and verb in a sentence must agree in number. In other words, if the subject is singular, the verb must be singular, and if the subject is plural, the verb must be plural. In this sentence, the subject is "period," which is a singular noun, so the verb should be singular.
Using the Correct Verb
The correct verb to use in this sentence is "has passed." This is because "has" is the third-person singular form of the verb "to have," and it agrees with the singular subject "period." The sentence should read, "The period of twenty-five years has passed."
Eliminating Errors
By correcting the verb agreement, the sentence is free of errors. The corrected sentence is, "The period of twenty-five years has passed, and still, he is without a job."

Kalyan Mehta answered |
Correct answer: (B) or Paul know the right
Explanation:
To understand the answer, we need to analyze the sentence and identify the error. The sentence is about serving wine with earthworm lasagna, which is an unusual dish. Therefore, it is important to choose the right wine that complements the flavors of the dish.
(A) "Someone perhaps Emmanuel" is incorrect because it does not make sense. The correct way to write it would be "Perhaps someone, like Emmanuel."
(B) "Or Paul know the right" is correct because it suggests that either Emmanuel or Paul knows the right wine to serve with earthworm lasagna.
(C) "Wine to serve with" is correct because it indicates that the speaker is looking for a specific type of wine that complements the dish.
(D) "Earthworm lasagna" is correct because it is the name of the dish.
Therefore, the correct answer is (B) or Paul know the right because it makes sense in the given context.

Error Identification:
The error is in part (b) of the sentence.
Explanation:
The subject of the sentence is "Every cereal bowl and casserole dish," which is singular. Therefore, the verb used should also be singular. However, the verb used in part (b) is "have," which is plural. Hence, there is a subject-verb disagreement in the sentence.
Correction:
The correct sentence should be:
"Every cereal bowl and casserole dish has slipped out of Sheila's soapy hands and shattered on the hard tile of the kitchen floor. Sheila really needs to buy a dishwasher."
Explanation:
The corrected sentence uses the singular verb "has" instead of "have," which agrees with the singular subject "Every cereal bowl and casserole dish." The rest of the sentence is grammatically correct and conveys the intended meaning.

Chaitali kumar answered |
Explanation:
The correct sentence is (c) for each pen, pencil, and paperclip have a tiny flag attached with Agnes full name on it. Here's why:
- The sentence talks about Agnes never losing a single possession, and how everyone knows what belongs to her. This means that she has a system in place to keep track of her belongings.
- The sentence then goes on to say that each pen, pencil, and paperclip has a tiny flag attached to it. This is a clear indication that Agnes has labeled her belongings with her full name, making it easy for everyone to identify what belongs to her.
- By attaching a tiny flag with her name on it, Agnes has ensured that her belongings are easily recognizable and can be returned to her if they are misplaced or lost.
Therefore, the correct sentence is (c) for each pen, pencil, and paperclip have a tiny flag attached with Agnes full name on it.

Uma rao answered |
The sentence is grammatically incorrect, as there is a pronoun-antecedent agreement error. The pronoun 'she' does not have a clear antecedent. It is unclear who 'she' refers to in the sentence.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'C' (none of these).
To make the sentence grammatically correct, we can make the following changes:
- Replace 'she' with a clear antecedent, such as 'Myra and Mrs. Webster'.
- Change 'wish' to 'wishes' to agree with the subject-verb agreement.
- Add a comma after 'dryer' to separate the phrase.
The corrected sentence would be:
"Everyone at Wendy's, even Myra and old Mrs. Webster, wishes that Myra and Mrs. Webster could afford their own washer and dryer, at home."
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'C' (none of these).

Pratibha khanna answered |
The correct option is 'A'.
Explanation:
Subject-Verb Agreement:
The sentence requires proper subject-verb agreement. The subject 'each' is singular, so the verb should also be singular. Therefore, 'are' should be replaced with 'is'.
Countable and Uncountable Nouns:
The word 'gift' is a countable noun, so it should be preceded by an article. The article 'a' is correctly used in the sentence.
Adjective Order:
The order of adjectives in the sentence is incorrect. The correct order should be: opinion, size, age, shape, color, origin, material, purpose. Therefore, 'small' should come before 'gift'.
Comparative Degree:
The word 'less' is used to compare the cost of the gift with a specific amount, i.e., $10. Therefore, it should be followed by 'than', not 'then'.
Final Corrected Sentence:
Each of us is bringing a small gift that costs less than $10 for another person.
