Read the sentence to determine if there is any grammatical error in it. Choose the letter corresponding to the part that contains the error. Ignore the errors of punctuation, if any ? Symptoms of this illness

A. that warrant a doctor visit
B. includes fever,
C. vomiting, and diarrhea, as well as the
D. loss of appetite
E. No error

Answer : B. includes fever,

 

Explanation:

  • “Includes” is incorrect because it is the singular form of the verb, but the subject, “symptoms,” is plural. The verb should be “include.”
  • The subordinating conjunction “that” introducing the dependent clause, and its plural verb “warrant,” (A) are both correct. “…vomiting, and” (C) is punctuated correctly as the last in a series of three or more words.
  • The singular noun “loss” (D) is correct

Read the sentence to determine if there is any grammatical error in it. Choose the letter corresponding to the part that contains the error. Ignore the errors of punctuation, if any ? Do you think

A. they

B. will

C. except our plan

D. without an argument ?

E. No error

Answer : C. except our plan

Explanation:

  • Here the verb is misspelled. For the correct meaning, it should be “accept,” i.e. to consent or agree to our plan.
  • “Except” means other than, besides, but, etc. Used as a verb as in this sentence, it would mean to make an exception of our plan, which is incorrect as it contradicts the rest of the sentence (without an argument).
  • (A) “They” and (B) “will” are used correctly as subject pronoun and auxiliary verb. (D) “Without” is correctly used as a preposition.
