Spotting Errors

This is the correct option as this part of the sentence has error. 'The flock of birds' is always taken as a singular subject and thus, requires a singular verb (is), and not a plural verb (are). The correct sentence would be: The flock of birds is migrating to the northern hemisphere.

This is the correct option. Here, both the verbs should be in the past tense. 'Had finished' is in past perfect to indicate that this happened first. The correct sentence should have 'went' (in simple past tense). Thus, the correct sentence should be: After he had finished his food, he went out with his friends.

This is the correct option as this part of the sentence has the error of redundancy. The sentence uses 'false' and 'misstatement'. Both these words convey the same meaning. The correct sentence would be: The accused was punished as he was found guilty of misstatement.

This is the correct option as this part of the sentence has the error of parallelism. The 'length' and the 'breadth' are in the same form, but 'high' is not. Thus, the correct sentence should replace 'it was three meters high' by 'the height was three meters'.

This is the correct option as this part of the sentence has the error. In this sentence, a noun (an interest) is compared to a verb (to be adept). The sentence can be corrected by shifting one of the forms to match the other. Thus, 'to be adept' should be converted to 'an adeptness in'. Thus, the correct sentence would be: Neither an interest in music nor an adeptness in French language is going to get you an American visa.

This is the correct option as 'police' is a plural entity so 'their' should be used in place of 'its'.

This is the correct answer.

This is the correct option as this part of the sentence has an error of consistency. The infinitive 'to' must either go only before the first verb in the list or before every verb in the list. Thus, the correct sentence would be: On his birthday, Ram would like to eat, to drink and to watch a movie.

This is the correct option as this part of the sentence has the error. The correct sentence would be: Each of the Prime Ministers was present in the meeting.

This is the correct option as this part of the sentence has the error. The sentence has subject-verb disagreement.

This is the correct option as this part of the sentence has the error. The sentence violates the rule of parallelism. Whatever grammatical form is applied to one item, should be applied to all items. But here, the verbs are not matching. It is ‘actors, characters’,  but a mismatched verb (story). Here, ‘story’ should be changed to ‘stories’ to make the sentence grammatically correct as the subject 'movies' is plural.

This is the correct option as this part of the sentence has the error. The sentence has a subject-verb disagreement as the subject (Aneesh) is singular, but the verb (are going) is plural. The verb should be singular (is going) to make the sentence grammatically correct. The accompanying phrase 'his mother and his sister' only provides extra information and does not alter the grammatical relationship between the subject and the verb in any way. 

This is the correct option as this part of the sentence has the error. This part violates the rule of parallelism. The infinitive ‘to’ should be placed before the first element and should not be repated after that. Second best is to repeat it before all the elements. Since, the infinitive 'to' is given before the first and not repeated before the second, we will remove the 'to' in the third part of the sentence too.

This is the correct option as this part of the sentence has the error. As a grammatical rule, if the names are separated by ‘nor’, singular form of verb ‘is’ should be used. But here, plural form of verb ‘are’ is used, which makes the sentence grammatically incorrect. Thus, singular verb (is) should be used.

This is the correct option as this part of the sentence has the error. This sentence does not have subject – verb agreement because here, the subject (servant) is singular and the verb (are going) is plural. Thus, to make the sentence grammatically correct, the verb should also be singular (is going). The accompanying phrase only provides extra information and does not in any way alters the grammatical relationship between the subject and the verb.
