Spotting Errors

Here, (a) is incorrect. It has a missing article ‘the’.

 Here, (b) is incorrect. Here, the plural form of the verb ‘are’ is used. The sentence tells us that Riya is not going and Aneesh is not going either. Since neither one of the two is going, we must use a singular verb, and not a plural form of verb. Thus, ‘is’ should have been used, which is a singular form of a verb.

Here, (d) is the correct option as the sentence has no error. 

Here, (b) is incorrect. The names Ram, Shyam, I are separated by the word “and”, but a singular form of verb ‘was’ is used, which is incorrect. 

Here, (a) is incorrect as ‘an’ is used as a form of the indefinite article that is used before words beginning with a vowel sound. 

 Here, (c) is incorrect as there is no subject – verb agreement between the subject – the young boy and the verb – are going to play cricket. There should be subject-verb agreement, even if the sandwiched phrase contains other nouns. Thus, the correct option would be ‘is going to play cricket’.

 Here, (c) is incorrect as there is no subject- verb agreement in the subject – the man and the verb – were going. There should be subject-verb agreement, even if the sandwiched phrase contains other nouns. Thus, the correct option would be ‘was going to the park’.

Here, (b) is incorrect as an incorrect preposition ‘at’ is used before the name of a country.

Here, (b) is incorrect as it has a missing article ‘an’ in front of apple, which is a noun.

Here, (c) is incorrect as an incorrect preposition ‘around’ has been used. The correct preposition here is ‘above’, which should be used to indicate a subject higher than his grade level.
