Test: Subject Verb Agreement- 1 - Mechanical Engineering MCQ

The verb in part B should be 'has' instead of 'have' because 'each' is singular, requiring subject-verb agreement.

Thus, part B contains an error and is the incorrect sentence.

Lime and soda are Single phrase as bread and butter or day and night. So D is the correct option.

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. Hence, was brought. will be answer.

The sentence is grammatically correct as it stands. The verb 'are' correctly agrees with the plural subject 'His benevolence and kindness', which are two singular nouns connected by 'and', forming a plural subject. Therefore, no correction is needed.

The verb 'allowed' will be added after 'has' to make the sentence grammatically correct. This is because as per the rule that in a compound sentense both auxiliary verbs and principal verbs should be mentioned separately if they differ in number, from or voice.

The phrase, 'as well as' takes a singular verb. Hence, we would replace 'are' in the given sentence by 'is' to make it grammatically correct.

The original sentence has a grammatical error in the verb tense consistency. The phrase ‘Twenty officers have been dismissed’ uses the present perfect passive voice, while ‘thirty left’ is in the simple past active voice without a helper verb.

To maintain parallel structure and correct grammar:

• ‘Thirty’ should be followed by ‘have left on their own’.

This ensures both clauses use the same tense and voice.

The sentence originally had a subject-verb agreement error. Every word and every line is plural, so the verb should be sing instead of sings.

Therefore, the correct answer is option C.

The error is in part (A). The corrected sentence should be:

'He worked so honestly that he was rewarded by the Chairman of the company.'

The mistake is that it incorrectly starts with 'So.' The correct structure is:

• Begin with the subject
• Follow with the verb
• Then use 'so.'

The correct sentence should be 'Four miles is not a long distance for a young person like you.'

The verb 'are' in option (B) is incorrect because it should agree with the singular subject 'Four miles,' which requires the verb 'is.'

Therefore, the error is in option (B).

The correct usage of 'No sooner' in the sentence will be ,No sooner was he brought….,

The sentence requires subject-verb agreement. The subject 'He' is singular, so the verb must be 'was' instead of 'were.'

Thus, option B should be corrected to:

• Of his family, was left shelterless.

As per the rule , 'None of ' takes a singular verb. Hence, we would replace 'are' by 'is ' in the given sentence.

The verb 'are' in option B should be replaced with 'is' because 'five thousand rupees' refers to a singular amount. This requires the singular form of the verb for subject-verb agreement.

The verb 'were' should be replaced with 'was' because:

• The subject 'it' is singular.
• This requires the singular form of the verb.

The sentence is grammatically correct as it uses inversion properly with 'so fast' at the beginning for emphasis. All clauses are correctly structured without any errors.

The correct option is C.
Replace ‘Need’ by ‘Needs'.

The correct sentence structure after the negative adverb 'never' requires inversion, which means placing the auxiliary verb before the subject. Here are the details:

• The phrase 'Never I have' should be changed to 'Never have I.'
• This alteration results in the corrected sentence: 'Never have I come across a man who is foolish to such an extent.'

The original sentence had an incorrect use of 'will be' before 'likely.' It should be replaced with 'is' to correctly form the sentence as:

'He is likely to take part in the ceremony provided he is granted leave.'

This change makes the structure grammatically correct.

The phrase 'are needs to pass' is grammatically incorrect. It should be replaced with 'is needed to pass.'

This is because:

• 'two-thirds' is treated as a singular noun.
• The verb should be in the singular form.
